In 2023, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded $6.3 billion in grants, the majority of which — almost $5 billion — went to health-related programs.
Health remains the top priority of the foundation, with a focus on areas such as HIV, vaccine development, and health technology, among others.
Gates awards many grants for multiple areas at the same time. Multiarea grants accounted for 35.8% of the total.
