The 279 nonprofits that received top scores from an external review panel were awarded $2 million, while 82 organizations in a second tier received $1 million each.

Initially, she publicized the gifts in online blog posts, sometimes naming the organizations and sometimes not. She launched a database of her giving in December 2022, under the name Yield Giving. In an essay reflecting on the website, she wrote: 'Information from other people - other givers, my team, the nonprofit teams I´ve been giving to - has been enormously helpful to me. If more information about these gifts can be helpful to anyone, I want to share it.' Since her split with Bezos, she has devoted much of her time and energy to identifying the most worthy and effective charitable organizations to donate her cash to. This includes donating her $55 million Beverly Hills estate (pictured) to a charity that will use a large portion of the proceeds to house the homeless and go toward an immigrant integration program. Meanwhile, in November 2023, Bezos announced that he wil l be giving $118 million to nonprofit groups supporting families experiencing homelessness.
