Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation


Perhaps we should all take notice of what Bill and Melinda Gates are doing with their foundation. To date they have put forth more than $28 billion to various charities and organizations looking to make advances in technology. Who would have thought the richest man in the world would also be the most generous? Although, for three years he was considered the second richest man in the world to Carlos Slim. Now in the year 2014 he is right back where he has been for so long at number one.
The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation has put nearly $1 billion to the Gavi Alliance, which develops vaccines for terrible diseases. They have also donated $750,000,000 over the course of 175 months to the Rotary Foundation. Rotary is trying to eradicate polio. The foundation has also put millions upon millions of dollars toward finding treatment and a cure for AIDS.
It seems like Bill Gates understand that he has a lot of money and can make a huge difference with it for the greater good of humanity. With that much money you can change the lives of so many. Helping find cures for diseases is his ultimate goal. How great would it feel to know that your generous donations helped find a cure for some of the most terrible diseases on the planet? Bill Gates and his foundation are a huge help for so many.
