Gates Foundation
Seattle billionaire's charity
The Gates Foundation, formally the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is one of the world's largest private charitable organizations, founded in 2000 by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his then-wife Melinda.
It focuses on global health, poverty reduction, and education: The Gates Foundation has spent billions fighting malaria.
The foundation's scale and influence have drawn both praise for tackling neglected diseases and criticism for shaping global health priorities through private wealth.
