Nevertheless, the [[Gates Foundation]], a charitable foundation established by Bill and Melinda Gates which is especially known for work on HIV/AIDS in Africa, provides substantial grants to organizations that promote abortion, such as the [[Planned Parenthood]] of Western Washington (recipient of a $200,000 grant from the Gates Foundation in January 3, 2007 for a youth development program).
