The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

From harborpedia

Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives.

In developing countries, it focuses on improving people’s health and giving them the chance to lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty.

In the United States, it seeks to ensure that all people—especially those with the fewest resources—have access to the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life.

Based in Seattle, Washington, the foundation is led by CEO Jeff Raikes and Co-chair William H. Gates Sr., under the direction of Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett.

Grants

The foundation awards the majority of its grants to U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations and other tax-exempt organizations identified by the organizations staff. Grantees and partners then work with beneficiaries in the field.
