 PROFILE
You don't have to be one of the richest men in the world to attract attention to your charitable foundation, but it doesn't hurt. The William H. Gates Foundation was thrust into the spotlight in 1999 after receiving more than $2 billion from Microsoft chairman and foundation namesake Bill Gates. Later that year it combined with affiliate Gates Learning Foundation to form the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Its contributions fund work in the areas of world health (vaccine research) and education; it also supports community service initiatives in the Pacific Northwest. William Gates Sr. runs the foundation, which was established in 1994 and is the largest in the US, with about a $21 billion endowment.
