I believe I read that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the best endowed charitable foundation at this moment in time. He donates for education and medicine. It is currently endowed to the tune of $29.1B. It appears he has been trying to give his money away pretty fast. "Founded in 2000, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation promotes greater equity in four primary areas: global health, education, public libraries, and assistance for vulnerable children and families in Washington state and greater Portland, Oregon. The foundation joins local, national, and international partners to ensure that advances in these areas reach those who need them most. The foundation is led by co-chairs Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, and William H. Gates Sr., and by CEO Patty Stonesifer." gatesfoundation.org
