On Tuesday, the fund awarded $97.5 million to 24 organizations, including the Refugee Women's Alliance in Seattle and Simpson Housing Services in Minneapolis. Each organization is given either $2.5 million or $5 million, according to the fund's webpage. The groups support homeless families in 16 US states and the District of Columbia.

"These 24 organizations are working on a number of initiatives that support families in need," Bezos said in a statement on the fund's site, "from emergency shelter and safe short-term shelter for families to get on their feet, to access and support for permanent housing and support services that help families move forward together."
