US EditionThe Gates Foundation’s first 25 years: How it changed global health and philanthropy
- In 2000, two family foundations supported by Gates and Buffett combined in Seattle to create what would become a leading global philanthropic organization focused on health and development.
- Bill and Melinda Gates, little experienced in global health, were motivated by stories about children dying from preventable diseases caused by poor sanitation.
- Over its first 25 years, the foundation invested $100 billion, dedicating roughly half of that amount to improving global health by playing a key role in creating major initiatives such as the vaccine alliance Gavi and the Global Fund, which support vaccination efforts and disease treatment worldwide.
- Mark Suzman, CEO since 2020, credits close supervision and data-driven oversight for success while critics question its influence and focus on limited interventions.
- Gates has committed to donating 99% of his $107 billion fortune by 2045, when the foundation plans to wind down its operations, with a focus on lowering child mortality despite obstacles such as reductions in aid and geopolitical instability.
