Jeff Bezos has revealed how he plans to donate part of his fortune.
The Amazon CEO and his wife, MacKenzie, will commit $2 billion to fund existing nonprofits that help homeless families and to create a network of preschools in low-income communities. They call their project the "Bezos Day One Fund."
Bezos tweeted a statement Thursday that the fund will issue annual leadership awards to organizations "doing compassionate, needle-moving work to provide shelter and hunger support to address the immediate needs of young families." There will also be full scholarships for Montessori-inspired preschools in "underserved" communities, he said.
Bezos, who also owns The Washington Post and space exploration company Blue Origin, became the world's wealthiest person this year, with an estimated net worth of $164 billion, according to Bloomberg.
Helping the homeless has also been a focus for Amazon (AMZN). Earlier this year, the company partnered with the Seattle nonprofit Mary's Place to build a permanent homeless shelter in its headquarters. It previously helped the nonprofit temporarily house 200 homeless people.

Related to Seattle, and a possible ulterior motive for any major suspect / person "helping the homeless."
I heard a video on YT from a whistleblower who used to work for a company called SIS that conducts gang stalking under a government contract. He said he was from Seattle, and that they bus people up to Seattle and house them in the downtown emergency homeless shelter and conduct their TI (targeted individual) programs and experiments on them.
This video popped up after a Michael Barden YouTube video after a Jason Goodman interview with Michael Barden.
I found it interesting listening to Michael's story. Incidentally he was handing out some flyers about gang stalking when he filmed one of his videos, and I just this morning happened to find a post about gang stalking flyers in Houston "getting laced with fentanyl" and a "cop getting poisoned when touching them."
I will find that link as well.
I'll try to find all the links & edit my comment.
