Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Citadel founder Ken Griffin have announced new charitable donations in Miami.
Bezos announced he was moving to Miami a year ago. Griffin announced he was moving his company headquarters to Miami in 2022.
The Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust announced last week it had received a $5 million donation from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, the largest donation in its history.
A week earlier the Pérez Art Museum Miami announced it had received a $10 million gift from Griffin.
According to a recent Herald article, Griffin has announced significant local philanthropical gifts since relocating here. They include at least $125m in donations to local hospitals, $11.1m to local schools, $5m to The Underline, and $5m to build mini soccer pitches in under-resourced areas.
