Off The News: A gift to Maui from MacKenzie Scott

There’s nothing like a megadonation to boost the coffers, and spirits, of a nonprofit working toward a community good. So it’s heady indeed that philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, one of the nation’s wealthiest people, has donated $5 million to the Hawaii Community Foundation for Maui fire recovery and relief efforts. She previously had donated $10 million to the foundation to support COVID-related relief efforts. The many Maui fire victims still in need can use all the help they can get.
