To give every person a chance at a healthy, productive life, the Gates Foundation works in several different ways.

Spurring innovations that improve the human condition by stepping in where governments and businesses leave gaps.
Strengthening global cooperation by bringing together governments, businesses, philanthropies, and communities to save and transform lives around the world.
Creating market incentives for lifesaving products by supporting the development and delivery of vaccines, treatments, diagnostics, and other tools for those most in need.
Generating high-quality data and evidence that drive progress by showing what’s working and what isn’t.
