Amazon founder gives $15 million to Catholic Charities
The world’s richest man has donated $15 million (£12 million) to three Catholic charities helping the homeless. The donations were among the first grants made by the Day One Fund, a $2 billion charitable fund set up by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, Mackenzie Bezos. Catholic Charities of the archdioceses of New Orleans and Miami and the Catholic Community Services of Western Washington were three of the 24 organisations selected. Sister Marjorie Hebert, president and CEO of Catholic Charities in New Orleans, said the grant would “help us meet the needs of so many families experiencing homelessness”.
