Amazon's CEO and founder Jeff Bezos on Thursday announced the charitable Bezos Day One Fund, making good on his long-awaited plans to starting giving away more of his massive fortune.
The fund will focus on two main areas: the Day 1 Families Fund will give money to existing non-profits that help homeless families, while the Day 1 Academies Fund will create a new network of top-tier preschools in low-income communities. Bezos said the academies fund will create an organization to directly operate the new schools. Also, homeless initiative builds on Amazon's current support of Mary's Place, a Seattle homeless shelter nonprofit.
