The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation provides numerous grant opportunities for global health, development, and education initiatives. The foundation offers grants mainly to U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations and other tax-exempt entities. Two major avenues for accessing their funding are:

1. General Foundation Grants: You can view and apply for these directly through their official grants portal.
2. Grand Challenges Initiative: This is part of a broader program focused on solving global health and development issues, where innovators can apply for grants aimed at addressing specific challenges like global health, digital tools for public health, and more.
