On Climate he's taken the top 4 established environmental groups under his umbrella. Until now each has had to operate seperately. They now become a more powerful voice as one.

Bezos is prepared to give $100 million each to four of the most established environmental groups in the country—the Nature Conservancy, the Environmental Defense Fund, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the World Wildlife Fund,

Bezos has also committed $100 million to the World Resources Institute, a sustainability-research organization that operates globally, the two sources said.

And he has promised smaller amounts of $10 million to $50 million to four nonprofits that specialize in climate and energy research, the sources said.
Those groups are the Energy Foundation, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the ClimateWorks Foundation, and the Rocky Mountain Institute.

Sustainable development & many more research groups, & non profits are the latest recipients.
I haven't got a list of them all, but I would bet hunger & food is also in that newest group somewhere.
It'll be interesting to watch what they all do without the constrains of funding slowing their progress.

Its all good.
