Legacy giving
Gates Philanthropy Partners accepts gifts of any size made in a will, a revocable trust agreement, an irrevocable trust agreement, or any other manner of non-probate disposition if they meet our contribution guidelines.
Because Gates Philanthropy Partners aligns gifts with programs supported by the Gates Foundation, it can absorb and distribute gifts of any size efficiently. For planned gifts, we do not have specific requirements or language for bequest documents.

Tributes
Gates Philanthropy Partners’ online giving platform offers options to recognize and honor the people you care about most. When making an online donation, you can select the type of tribute gift you’d like to make and then choose whether you’d like to send a customized email to share that you’ve made a gift.
Our customized options offer photography for holidays and meaningful moments—as well as selected photography from the Gates Foundation.
Workplace giving
Gates Philanthropy Partners accepts matched gifts through your workplace giving. We do not require specific paperwork to process the gift.
After making your donation, you can provide your employer with the Gates Philanthropy Partners’ acknowledgement letter for gifts made with cash, check, publicly traded stock, or wire transfer.
In the coming months, you’ll be able to notify your employer when you make an online donation. Stay tuned.
