Perspective on COVID-19

Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives. To best achieve this mission across the Grand Challenges family of initiatives, we will be exploring with existing and new grantees – where relevant and on a case-by-case basis – finding opportunities to balance longstanding needs in global health and development with new needs from the perspective of COVID-19. And we acknowledge that especially in such cases, this can require providing additional flexibility to our grantees and other partners.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed funding to the global response to COVID-19. To learn more about the foundation's broader work and how the COVID-19 pandemic is being addressed across the foundation, please visit the foundation's website and also sign-up for The Optimist newsletter.
