Kenya: Gates Foundation to Spend $200 Billion By 2045, Sets Sunset Date in Historic 25th Anniversary Pledge

On May 9, 2025, Bill Gates announced that the Gates Foundation will spend $200 billion by 2045 and then cease operations.
This decision follows 25 years of work and comes amid recent U.S. Federal funding cuts and withdrawal from global health agencies.
The foundation will intensify efforts to end preventable deaths, eradicate infectious diseases, and reduce poverty in the next two decades.
Gates committed to donating nearly his entire $168 billion fortune over the next two decades, aiming to distribute 99% of his wealth through the Gates Foundation to support global health and poverty reduction.
This accelerated philanthropy aims to address urgent global problems and ensure partner institutions sustain progress after the foundation closes in 2045.
