Philanthropy powerhouse MacKenzie Scott continues to transform the charitable giving landscape. This month, she awarded Morgan State University a record-breaking $63 million, her second major gift to the historically Black institution in less than five years, bringing her total contributions to the Baltimore HBCU to $103 million. Since 2019, Scott has donated over $17 billion with no strings attached, exemplifying her trust-based approach to philanthropy.
Scott's generosity reflects a broader trend: women are outgiving men across the board. According to a 2024 report, women across nearly all income levels donate more than men.

As women continue to accumulate wealth, projected to control $30 trillion by 2030, their philanthropic influence will only grow stronger, reshaping charitable giving for generations to come.
Reverse mentoring flips traditional workplace hierarchies, creating powerful opportunities for women at every career stage. In this model, junior employees, often from underrepresented groups, mentor senior leaders on topics like technology, DEI, and generational expectations. For women, it’s a chance to share real experiences with decision-makers, build confidence, and expand networks.
Companies embracing reverse mentoring see stronger gender equity and more inclusive cultures. As diverse perspectives fuel innovation, women mentors are shaping conversations around flexible work, inclusive leadership, and digital transformation, key themes for 2025.
