The Gates Foundation, established in 2000, has been a driving force in tackling global issues such as poverty, disease, and education. With a staggering endowment of over $50 billion, it has made significant strides in improving the lives of millions worldwide. But with Melinda's resignation, the future of the foundation remains uncertain.
Many are speculating that the recent divorce filing between Bill and Melinda could have played a role in her resignation. However, neither party has commented on the matter, leaving the public to only speculate. Regardless of the reasons behind her departure, one thing is for sure: the philanthropic landscape will never be the same without Melinda Gates at the helm.

What are YOUR thoughts?
We want to hear from you! Please comment below to join the discussion.
Hopefully Melissa will support more POSITIVE philanthropic endeavors. Her ex is a megalomaniac creep who is obsessed with controlling others with his money.He supports MANY negative organizations & does it for POWER only. I wish her well for severing ties to this poor “excuse” of a man.
I read she wants to help women and children with her money now. Maybe trying to make up for the harm caused by the monster she is divorcing.
Harry, these are two individuals. They happen to have a lot of money. However as humans, with a capacity to feel and think like the other humans around them …. Emotions, thoughts outweigh money Just two people having a problem.!!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME ! It has been reported ( rumored ? ) that Bill Gates’ vaccines programs are used as an experiment in African nations and on the children to tests efficacy of his poisons. The health consequences have been harmful to many of these innocent children the “Foundation” uses as lab rats for their testing.
