This question was asked on:
One area you might not expect to find consultants is in charitable giving. However, when billionaire McKenzie Scott gave away $8 billion in 11 months, she worked with a consultant firm called Bridgespan Group. Formed by three former Bain & Co. consultants, Bridgespan advises the Bill and Melinda Gates, Ford, and Rockefeller Foundation on where to donate their billions.

With an urgency to give away as much as possible as soon as possible, she needed solid recommendations on where to give and fast.
