Scott 2020 Fund

Breadcrumb

Author and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott made a generous $12 million gift in December 2020 to support Whittier’s mission of equity and inclusion in support of student success.

Her unrestricted donation will be apportioned to the areas that will make the greatest impact at Whittier, including providing additional need-based scholarships, creating new innovative programs, and support for the College’s Racial Justice and Equity Action Plan.  

Many members of the Poet community have expressed a wish to join in this transformational effort. All donations of all sizes will be combined with MacKenzie Scott’s gift for an even bigger impact.
