Gaines Foster is the chair of Capital Area United Way's Community Impact Cabinet, a group that works to improve the lives of those in Baton Rouge, La., who "do not have the assets to have what almost anyone would call a basic of living."
That's why he's excited about a gift of $5 million from the MacKenzie Scott Foundation, which will be used to fund 21 projects that will "help ensure that the [ALICE] population is getting the help they need to keep them from falling into poverty," as the United Way puts it, per the Advocate.
The grants, totaling more than $1.5 million over the next three years, "will help ensure that the [ALICE] population is getting the help they need to keep them from falling into poverty," George Bell, the United Way's president and CEO, says in a press release.
The projects, which were chosen after a "rigorous review" of their proposals, will focus on education, healthy living, and income stability, as well as three other areas: health, employment, and stability for low-income residents, per the press release.
The MacKenzie Scott donation, which was announced in December, is the largest gift the foundation has ever received, per the New York Times.
