SARASOTA — After receiving a $10 million gift from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, Goodwill Manasota has convened a task force of Goodwill board members to assist staff in developing and expanding community services and overseeing the investment and deployment of the funds.

In December, Goodwill Manasota learned it was one of 384 nonprofits to receive a multi-million-dollar gift from Scott, according to a press release. A statement says the contribution will help Goodwill Manasota to carry out its strategic plan and address programs it could not previously undertake due to a lack of resources.
