HIAS, formerly known as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, has received a $10 million donation from billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. The money recognizes the work of HIAS in aiding refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine.

HIAS said the grant will go toward humanitarian relief, helping with resettlement in the countries of the European Union, including housing, education, health, language training, and mental health. Some of the money will help Jews from countries bordering Ukraine who choose to relocate to Western Europe, HIAS said.
