It’s not surprising that Melinda French Gates is not investing all of her billions into the Gates Foundation
Melinda French Gates recently talked about her new philanthropic commitments: “I commit to doing more than writing checks. I also commit my time, energy, and efforts to the work of fighting poverty and advancing equality – for women and girls and other marginalized groups – in the United States and around the world … I’ll continue to seek out new partners, ideas, and perspectives.”
In 2015, French Gates founded Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation company that seeks to advance social and professional progress for women and families across the US.
