Jeff Bezos' ex-wife MacKenzie Scott donates $20 million to US youth mental health nonprofit

MacKenzie Scott, the former wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has donated $20 million to Active Minds, a US-based nonprofit that works to improve mental health among young people. The organisation said this is the largest single donation in its history and will help expand its work across the country.

According to a statement by Active Minds, the gift is unrestricted, allowing the nonprofit to use the funds where they are needed most. The organisation said the money will support its efforts to build mental health programmes, strengthen partnerships with schools and communities and train more young leaders to advocate for mental health.
