About

We're your partner in giving with purpose

Our history

Launched in 2016, GPP was established by the Gates Foundation to harness the enthusiasm of individual donors who wanted to give alongside the foundation, based on its strategic grantmaking around the world.

Our donors have always trusted that their charitable giving would support the bold global and U.S. initiatives rigorously selected by Bill Gates and Gates Foundation experts.

How we work

We partner with experts at the Gates Foundation to identify high-priority, evidence-based projects where additional funding can accelerate impact. We are able to move quickly by leaning on the financial, technical, and grantmaking expertise of the foundation.

We curate


We are focused on efficiency and results. We select projects we know you will be proud to support.

We invest


No funding sits idly in an account. We ensure your giving goes where it is needed—fast.

We share


Through our annual Impact Report, we communicate where we make grants and feature stories from our partners.

Must-solve problems can’t wait

The world moves quickly—and so do we. Our team works with experts at the Gates Foundation to understand how issues are changing in real time. We bring that knowledge and experience to every grant we make.

3.5 billion

More than 3.5 billion people worldwide live without safely managed sanitation. We support partners who are developing affordable, complete, and sustainable waste treatment solutions.

1 billion

More than 1 billion people are affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). We help direct donated drugs that can prevent or treat NTDs to where they are needed most.

7,000

An estimated 7,000 newborns die every day from complications during or immediately after birth. We fund research and interventions that focus on ensuring healthy pregnancies, safe deliveries, and thriving babies.

Together we make progress possible

Guided by the Gates Foundation’s strategies, we are collectively getting results.

50%

Childhood deaths were cut in half between 1990 and 2019 thanks to innovations in vaccines and improved access to care, clean water, and sanitation.

85%

In 2020, about 85% of infants living in the world’s poorest countries received routine immunization (full course of vaccines to prevent diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus) compared to 60% in 2000.

99%

In the last 30 years, polio cases globally have declined by 99%. The goal? Eliminate polio everywhere so that no child is at risk of contracting this debilitating disease.

14.29%

High school graduation rates in the US have increased by 14.29% since 1990, increasing economic opportunities for millions of young people.
