Not to detract anything from her contribution but she isn’t funding the whole thing. The way it works is a local nonprofit for a geographic area partners with the Imagination library and funds them to offer the program in that area.
Their website explains how you can become a partner for your area and the costs involved.
In some places it is government funded. The program in Baltimore City for example appears to be largely funded by Maryland State government via a yearly grant to a nonprofit.

- pmorici 3y agoZero outrage on my part. Just pointing out that the op’s view of how this works doesn’t jive with reality. There are a lot of people and governments putting money into this to make it work at the scale and scope that it does.
