My new deadline: 20 years to give away virtually all my wealth
During the first 25 years of the Gates Foundation, we gave away more than $100 billion. Over the next two decades, we will double our giving.
By Bill Gates
The work of the Gates Foundation is guided by the belief that all people everywhere deserve the opportunity to live healthy and productive lives.
Together with our partners, we’ve helped save tens of millions of lives since 2000, and with continued investment, even greater progress is possible in the years ahead.
Over the next 20 years, the Gates Foundation will commit around $200 billion to advancing health and equity. On May 8, our chair Bill Gates and CEO Mark Suzman joined partners from around the world at an event in New York City to discuss this announcement and the foundation’s future.
