Melinda French Gates has announced a $1 billion donation over the next two years to support women and families globally, including reproductive rights in the United States. This commitment aims to address the fact that less than 2% of philanthropic giving in the U.S. goes directly to women and girls. Her funding could potentially break this 2% ceiling and inspire others to contribute, according to Jacqueline Ackerman from the Women’s Philanthropy Institute. French Gates' philanthropy history indicates she may use her platform to encourage more giving towards causes benefiting women and girls, building on her collaborations and advocacy efforts.
