In 2000, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was created out of a desire to tackle the world’s toughest challenges, including improving the world’s health and decreasing poverty. Since 2000, the Gates Foundation has spent $53.8 billion supporting efforts to make a difference in the world. In 2015, a new initiative was launched called the Goalkeepers, which brought together global leaders to achieve 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development.
