Organization Description:
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is dedicated to improving people's lives by sharing advances in health and learning with the global community. The foundation was created in January 2000, through the merger of the Gates Learning Foundation, which focused on expanding access to technology through public libraries, and the William H. Gates Foundation, which focused on improving global health. Led by Bill Gates' father, William H. Gates, Sr., and Patty Stonesifer, the Seattle-based foundation has an endowment of approximately $23.1 billion.

TB is a major focus of the foundation's efforts in global health. Our work in TB focuses on the development of new tools and technologies and strengthening global prevention and control efforts with the goal of one day eliminating TB as a major global public health problem.

Approximately $56 million committed towards the development of TB diagnostics, vaccines and treatment since 2000.
