GATES FOUNDATION
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was established in 2000 by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda. With an endowment of nearly $36 billion, the foundation works with partners to give people a chance to lift themselves out of hunger and poverty in developing countries and, in the U.S., to ensure people have the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life. Bill and Melinda Gates were named to BusinessWeek's 2008 list of the 50 Top American Givers.
