00:00Mackenzie Scott has given away over $26 billion, and she credits the kindness of others for
00:05inspiring her philanthropic giving. In an essay on her Yield Giving page, Scott reflected on the
00:11acts of kindness that benefited her, including a local dentist who offered her free dental work
00:16when he saw her securing a broken tooth with denture glue in college, and her college roommate
00:20who loaned Scott $1,000 so she wouldn't have to drop out. Now her old roommate, Jeannie Ringo
00:26Tarkenton, is helping thousands of other students who need help paying for college. Tarkenton's
00:30startup FundingU has provided $80 million in low-interest loans to about 8,000 students.
00:36Speaking of Scott, Tarkenton told the Princeton Alumni Weekly that small graces everywhere add up,
00:41or big graces when it comes to Mackenzie's giving.
