The leader of the Columbus Urban League is calling the $6.5 million gift a "game changer" for the organization.

Scott, who divorced Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in 2019, has given away more than $12 billion to nearly 1,200 groups.

A $133 million donation is going to a program that links at-risk students with community services they need in order to be academically successful. The Communities in Schools program already helps 21,873 students in 34 K-12 schools throughout Ohio, and more will likely benefit.
