Scott said through a blog he wants to give money to those who are “officially underfunded and bypassed”.
She said she has chosen 286 organisations dealing with racial inequality, arts and education.
Scott, writer and philanthropist, is the former wife of Jeff Bezo, founder of the online retail company Amazon.
She's one of the richest women in the world.
Most of the wealth is from Bezo, who is currently the richest man in the world.
The couple divorced in 2019.
Under the deal, Scott gained 4% of the Amazon's shares, as she had helped her former husband start business in 1994.
In December of last year it has been known that Scott has donated over four billion dollars for food and emergency aid within four months.
At that world, Scott said he wanted to help Americans who fight as a result of the coronary pandemic.
Despite the size of these donations, she is the world's 22nd richest person.
According to the American magazine Forbes, its wealth amounts to $55.5 billion.
