Melinda French Gates is marking Giving Tuesday by offering to match up to $1 million in donations to two nonprofit organizations through her organization, Pivotal Ventures.
French Gates will match up to $500,000 in donations to the Vote Mama Foundation and the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers.
In an interview with the Associated Press, she said, “It’s a great time to remind people that we’re better off when we give something back and we all have something to give back.”
This initiative aims to encourage more donations and support for these organizations.
Vote Mama Foundation focuses on empowering mothers in politics, while the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers supports those who provide care for others.
