Wow. $100 million.

Put into a trust, you could pull out interest every year, say $2 million, and have your project funded forever.

What would the project be? Well, if you set the funding up that way, that's the beauty: you could try different things with that $2 million every year and see what worked the best. That way, instead of trying to "fix" a problem, you could create a system that would continue to help find optimizations.

Hell, one year you could give away cash prizes. Another year hire in-home tutors for at-risk kids. Another year you could try some kind of vouchers. You could on and on like this, continuing to experiment and evolve. Or you could just write a check to somebody.

Maybe Zuck has learned that you don't write checks to fix systemic problems.

Maybe.
