Melinda French Gates Launches $1M GivingTuesday Match for Women-Focused Nonprofits

The philanthropist's initiative aims to boost donations for caregiving and political advocacy organizations, emphasizing collective generosity.

Melinda French Gates will match up to $1 million in donations to two nonprofits: Vote Mama Foundation and the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers.
The initiative is part of GivingTuesday, an annual global fundraising event that generated $3.1 billion in donations last year despite declining participation.
Vote Mama Foundation supports mothers running for public office, while the Rosalynn Carter Institute advocates for caregivers, reflecting French Gates' ongoing focus on women's empowerment.
Donations will be tracked and matched via the nonprofit crowdfunding platform Every.org, with a 10-day window for fundraising.
This effort aligns with French Gates' broader $1 billion commitment to advancing women's and families' well-being, including global health initiatives and equitable societal policies.
