Bezos Family Donates $100 Million to Support New York City's Universal Child Care Initiative
The Bezos family has made a significant philanthropic contribution by donating $100 million to Robin Hood, a prominent New York City charity focused on combating poverty. This donation is part of a larger $150 million commitment to support Mayor Zohran Mamdani's campaign promise of providing free, universal child care. The funds will establish the Jackie Bezos Endowment for Early Childhood, aimed at funding early childhood education. This initiative aligns with Mayor Mamdani's efforts to make 2-K programming universally accessible, providing free early care and education starting at age two. The donation is seen as a collaborative effort involving government, providers, working families, labor, philanthropy, and New Yorkers across all five boroughs.
