Published Goalkeepers 2018 Report on women's health as an economic multiplier
The Gates Foundation's second annual Goalkeepers Report, published during UN General Assembly week, focused on the economic multiplier effect of investing in women's and girls' health and education. The report presented data showing that when women have access to family planning, education, and economic participation, entire communities benefit and generational poverty cycles break. Gates used the report to challenge world leaders attending the General Assembly to make women's health and empowerment the centerpiece of their development commitments.

Gates Foundation Announces External Governance Review and 20% Staff Reduction Amid Epstein Fallout
In April 2026, the Gates Foundation announced an independent external governance review led by former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and two former US federal judges, tasked with examining Foundation oversight structures, donor transparency, and executive conduct policies. The Foundation simultaneously announced a 20% reduction in its global workforce — approximately 500 positions — citing the need to streamline operations. Foundation CEO Mark Suzman described the reductions as part of a 'strategic reset' unrelated to the Epstein scrutiny; critics and former staff disputed that characterization.

US House Oversight Committee Issues Subpoena to Gates Foundation Over Epstein-Era Documents
In March 2026, the US House Committee on Oversight and Accountability issued a subpoena to the Gates Foundation demanding internal communications, grant records, and financial documents related to Jeffrey Epstein spanning 2010–2019. The committee gave the Foundation a 30-day compliance deadline. A Gates Foundation spokesperson said the organization was 'reviewing the request and committed to cooperating fully with legitimate oversight.' The subpoena focused specifically on whether Foundation grant decisions were influenced by Epstein and whether donor privacy obligations had been used to shield Epstein's involvement.
