Melinda Gates is in the news for tying Epstein-related questions to her husband’s philanthropy and her ongoing Gates Foundation work—American philanthropist, Duke alum, cofounder of the foundation.
Melinda French Gates is unveiling a new wave of philanthropy through Pivotal, boosting total giving for women’s health to over $600 million in two years. The funds target contraceptive access, maternal care and menopause research, with commitments including $40 million to Co-Impact and $10 million to The Menopause Society. Health leaders say the move could spur broader private and public funding.
