WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $45 million to The Trevor Project, a non-profit suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ youth, the group said Monday.
The donation from Scott, the former wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is the largest in The Trevor Project’s 27-year history and comes after the Trump administration cut resources last year for LGBTQ suicide prevention efforts.
“This gift is a powerful step toward building on our sustainable capacity,” Trevor Project CEO Jaymes Black in a statement announcing the donation.
Black said the donation came at a time when LGBTQ youth “are facing heightened stigma, political hostility, and mental health challenges.”
