It is the largest single donation in Girl Scouts history. The Girl Scouts want to change the world with the almost 85 million dollars donated.
Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott supports the Girl Scouts of the USA with a donation of $84.5 million. The Girl Scout organization announced this on October 18th. The equivalent of more than 85 million euros is the largest donation by a single person in the history of the organization.
“We are excited to demonstrate how Ms. Scott’s investment in girls will change the world – because where one girl thrives, we all thrive,” said Sofia Chang, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA in a statement. According to a statement, the donation should make it possible not only to expand the organization’s efforts, but also to help it recover from the effects of the corona pandemic.
