Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $84.5 million to the Girl Scouts, the organization said Tuesday.
The gift from Scott, 52, who was previously married to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, marks the largest-ever single donation in the organization's history, the group said.
Scott's gift will go to Girl Scouts of the USA and 29 local councils that Scott selected, according to a news release from the organization.
The organization claims its famous annual cookie sale is “the largest girl-led business in the world,” with Girl Scouts selling nearly $800 million worth of cookies each season.
Scott filed for divorce last month from her second husband, former teacher Daniel Jewett, whom she married in 2021.
