    The foundation paid out approximately $2.8 billion cash in grants and direct charitable activities, and that should increase to approximately $3.5 billion this year. Says Raikes: “It’s difficult for foundations to find fiscal balance when there are so many demands to be met.” Still, the foundation will, for example, spend tens of millions to help fund the final phase of malaria vaccine clinical trials, he says. “We think it’s worth it because we believe this malaria vaccine can save millions of lives.” Hear hear to that.

    Even if Bill Gates is responsible for one of my least favorite companies, I believe him and Melinda deserve to be nominated for sainthood for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
