Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated a record-breaking $20 million to the Champlain Housing Trust in northwest Vermont, marking the largest gift in the organization's nearly four-decade history.

The donation aims to bolster affordable housing efforts in the region by reducing the cost of development without relying on private debt.
