The New York Post's examination of the 361 donations made through Scott's philanthropic organization, Yield Giving, revealed that $122 million was designated to 67 groups involved in advocating for undocumented immigrants. The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition each received $2 million from this allocation to combat immigration enforcement.
In addition, Scott earmarked $72 million for 43 diverse organizations that promote gender ideology and LGBTQ+ issues. A notable portion of this, $16 million, was directed towards groups advocating for the participation of transgender-identified males in women's sports.

Among the recipients was the Gender Justice organization, which received a $2 million donation. The organization has a track record of winning legal battles to permit males questioning their gender to participate in sports alongside females. Morgan Peterson, the executive director of the non-profit, lauded the donation, stating it "could not have come at a more crucial time."

Peterson further expressed concern about "a conservative legal movement threatening our fundamental rights here in Minnesota, North Dakota, and across the United States.” She emphasized the organization's mission, stating, "Building and sustaining a world free of gender barriers requires community organization, education, and changing the ways we talk and think about gender."

Yield Giving reports that its network of staff and advisors has, to date, distributed over $17.3 billion to more than 2,300 non-profit teams "for the benefit of others."
In response to Scott's announcement, Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told the Post, "Bezos’ [ex]wife is using the profits he made through capitalism to [fund] the rope that will hang capitalism." Gonzalez further criticized Scott's donations, stating, "These things that she’s donating money to, whether it’s transgender ideas, helping illegals, prisoner rights, climate change, they’re all trying to transform our system away from capitalism."

She established Yield Giving in 2022, inviting organizations committed to "advancing the voices and opportunities of individuals and families of meager or modest means” to apply for her donations.
