Bezos and then-wife MacKenzie Scott launched the Bezos Day One Fund, 

In 2018, Jeff Bezos and his then-wife MacKenzie Scott launched the Bezos Day One Fund, an initiative aimed at addressing two critical issues: homelessness and early childhood education. The fund began with a commitment of $2 billion from Bezos and Scott, with the goal of making a long-term impact in these areas. The Day 1 Families Fund, one arm of the initiative, focuses on supporting non-profits that assist homeless families, providing shelter and services. The other arm, the Day 1 Academies Fund, aims to build a network of high-quality, full-scholarship preschools in underserved communities, using a Montessori-inspired approach. The creation of the Bezos Day One Fund was a significant step in Bezos’s philanthropic efforts, reflecting a broader shift toward charitable giving by tech billionaires. It also underscored Scott’s commitment to philanthropy, which would later continue in her independent giving following her divorce from Bezos. #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife_Moment #MoofLife #BezosDayOneFund #JeffBezos #MacKenzieScott #Philanthropy #Homelessness #EarlyEducation
