The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the largest private foundation in the world. Private foundations get their money from a family, an individual, or a corporation; in this case, the Gates family. In 2014, the total giving for the foundation was $3,439,671,894, the highest of any US foundation. Although I didn\u2019t get to speak with Bill or Melinda, I was directed to some excellent interviews they gave. I was looking for what inspired the couple, possible failures, and how they work together. Maybe you will be inspired to directly share your story on GrantNews.<\/p>\n

Inspiration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Multiple sources reported that Africa inspired Bill and Melinda Gates. In 1993, the engaged couple took a trip to Africa where they were struck by the poverty. Melinda asked Bill, \u201cDoes it have to be like this?\u201d In 1997\u00a0they went to Africa again; particularly Soweto, South Africa. They witnessed a hospital treating TB which was overwhelmed by the number of patients.<\/p>\n

Decision<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an\u00a0nterview with Charlie Rose, Melinda said,<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you see those moments of heartbreak\u2026 that\u2019s what propels you in the work. That\u2019s what makes you say, \u2018How can I help not just the 100 people in that hospital, but how can I help thousands and millions?\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When asked how they decided what to focus on, Bill answered that they looked at 2 things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What are the biggest inequities, globally?<\/li>\n
  2. Equal opportunities in the United States.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Success<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Bill has been most moved by the mortality rate of children under 5 years old. This is what he calls an \u201cinvisible cause\u201d because it is not a cause most people are familiar with. People normally gravitate towards donating when disaster strikes, which is great, but there is need beyond that. He is happy to report that the mortality rate of children under 5 years old is on a decreasing trajectory. He sees increasing generosity towards invisible causes, now.<\/p>\n

    Difficulties<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Bill has been known to concede that they were na\u00efve when they began the foundation. He said, \u201cIt\u2019s been a learning process\u2026\u201d In a TED talk, he told listeners that he believes he was na\u00efve about trying to wipe out Leishmaniosis in India. He reported that they wasted $60 million and 5 years on a vaccine that had to be administered every day for 10 days with modest benefit. The solution, they later found, was eliminating the sandflies that spread the disease.<\/p>\n

    <\/a>Bill and Melinda Gates<\/strong><\/p>\n

    You may think that working together as a couple was a challenge?\u00a0Not for Melinda and Bill Gates. They enjoy it.\u00a0Their working relationship can be a model for foundations.\u00a0In their TED talk, Melinda said,<\/p>\n

    \u201cI know whenever I come home [from traveling for the Foundation], Bill is going to be interested in what I learned; whether it\u2019s about women or girls, or something new about the vaccine delivery chain, or this person who is a great leader, he\u2019s going to listen and be really interested\u2026We have a collaborative relationship.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
