America’s wealthiest people have long urged each other to give away more of their money.

Darren Walker, the outgoing president of the Ford Foundation, has had a far-reaching and profound impact on the philanthropic sector.

The billionaire philanthropist and author MacKenzie Scott announced Tuesday she would give $640 million to more than 360 organizations in response to an application process she launched last year.

Philanthropy, Lucy Bernholz says, is like Chex Mix.

One of the nation's most prestigious historically Black colleges got a major publicity boost recently when it announced two high-profile faculty hires.

ROANOKE, Va – A non-profit in Southwest Virginia received $10 million to help get people back to work. The massive donation by author and philanthropist Mackenzie Scott is the largest donation Goodwill Industries of the Valleys has ever received. As millions of Americans struggle with unemployment, Goodwill staff said the money is more important now than ever before. Goodwill Industries of the Valleys is headquartered in Roanoke but covers as far north as Rockingham County, down to the North Carolina border. In the past four months, Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has given away more than $4 billion.
