Author and philanthropist Lauren Sánchez Bezos joined "Good Morning America" on Monday to make an exclusive announcement for the Day 1 Families Fund, a nonprofit founded with her husband, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, that has made a $2 billion commitment in grants to nonprofits fighting homelessness.

Bezos announced the organization has committed $102.5 million in new grants this year for 32 nonprofits across the country.

"This year, we're able to give more than $100 million -- it makes a huge impact," Bezos said of the funds, which are directed to organizations that help families "get moving in the right direction."

"This is just the beginning," she continued. "It's a $2 billion commitment, so we're gonna continue doing it. We have an incredible group of advisers on the ground -- they know what communities need. We've been able to give to all 50 states, and they really tell us what places like the [Washington, D.C., nonprofit] Community of Hope need."
