While the Gates Foundation works globally, we recognize that improving people’s lives often happens at the local level, where individuals take action in their own communities.

Our Foundation Cares program makes it easier for local NGOs and community organizations to connect with foundation employees and partners for opportunities including volunteering, site visits, speaking engagements, and board member matching. If your organization needs support in one of these areas, get in touch, and we will work to connect you with our employees or partners.

Working together in our global communities, we can solve our greatest challenges.
