Billionaire philanthropist and author MacKenzie Scott announced Tuesday she is giving $640 million to 361 small nonprofits that responded to an open call for applications.
Yield Giving’s first round of donations is more than double what Scott had initially pledged to give away through the application process. Since she began giving away billions in 2019, Scott and her team have researched and selected organizations without an application process and provided them with large, unrestricted gifts.
In a brief note on her website, Scott wrote she was grateful to Lever for Change, the organization that managed the open call, and the evaluators for “their roles in creating this pathway to support for people working to improve access to foundational resources in their communities. They are vital agents of change.”

Holy moly everyone get to the AOE!
Ok there’s probably a negligible chance you’ll get the reference of “Temp at bank 5 min”
But this was a thing in Everquest. High level spellcasters would hang out, afk while they did other things, but cast high level AoE spells for others’ benefit (and the occasional donation). The most popular was Temperence, which was a buff that lasted hours, raising your HP significantly. It was a static amount, meaning a level 1 would gain a HUGE amount of HP. And since that game was so difficult/unforgiving, it was practically necessary if you didn’t want to fight enemies below your level.
