Hi SD,
Under Activism in Wiki for Lauren Powell Jobs it says:

Activism[edit]
In 2004, Powell Jobs founded the Emerson Collective, a private company structured as a Limited Liability Company,[21] that supports social entrepreneurs and organizations working in education and immigration reform, social justice, media and journalism and conservation through partnerships, grants and investments.[4][22] Through Emerson, Powell Jobs owns The Atlantic.[23]

In the 2016 Presidential elections, Powell Jobs donated $2m to Hillary Clinton and raised a further $4m for her.[24][25]

In 2017, she backed the founding of the political organization ACRONYM,[26] which raised ethical questions for Powell Jobs for its creation of Courier Newsroom.[27]

In the 2020 primaries, Powell Jobs donated to the Klobuchar, Biden, Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Michael Bennet primary campaigns for the Democrat nomination.[28] She then went on to donate over $500,000 to the Biden presidential campaign.[29]
