CANBERRA — More than $3 billion was distributed in grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2018. This year, 112 grants have already been awarded, totaling $316 million.

The analysis of grant data, available through the Gates Foundation’s grantmaking database and available as a new Tableau interactive, provides insight into $58 billion in grants awarded to almost 6,000 recipients covering more than 19,000 initiatives since 1995. This includes grants from the William H. Gates Foundation and the Gates Learning Foundation which were combined to create the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000.
