Gates Foundation

The Gates Foundation is a philanthropic organization that works to dramatically reduce disease and poverty and build a more equal world.
We invest our expertise and resources in organizations, research institutions, and global alliances that are fueling progress toward a future that is free of infectious diseases, provides economic opportunity for all, and ensures the health of mothers and babies.
Our charitable support, which in 2024 totaled more than US$8 billion, focuses on innovative products, ideas, and approaches that have the potential to save and improve the greatest number of lives. Our efforts span more than four dozen program areas and engage thousands of partners that are leading the work on the ground—including nonprofit organizations, government agencies, private enterprises, scientists, community groups, and policy researchers.
