It is part of a two-year, $1 billion commitment that French Gates made in May to support women and families around the world.
Melinda French Gates speaks during the forum Empowering Women as Entrepreneurs and Leaders at the World Bank/IMF Spring Meetings on April 13, 2023. She says she will be donating $1 billion to individuals and organizations working on behalf of women and families globally, including on reproductive rights in the United States.
Haven Ley, chief strategy officer at French Gates’ organization Pivotal Ventures, said the grant competition was a “curtain raiser” to a likely new focus on funding women’s health globally. Previously, Pivotal had primarily funded organizations working to advance women’s power in the U.S. The lengthy process includes a peer review by other applicants and an outside review by a panel of experts.
She said their initial model focused on scaling a solution, with a minimum commitment from donors of $10 million over five years, but now, they are also supporting donors who are interested in scaling a field.
