The foundation uses a "outcomes investing" approach to making grants. Like many Silicon Valley businesses, the Gates Foundation is data-driven to set goals and to watch metrics to assess the progress in achieving those goals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gatesfoundation.org/How-We-Work|title=How We Work|accessdate=December 26, 2016}}</ref> The vast majority of the donations from the Gates Foundation goes towards non-faith-based programs.

In response to criticism from the public and perhaps due to Melinda Gates' daily involvement, the Gates Foundation apparently refrained from directly funding [[abortion]]. However, with its reorganization in late 2006, funding of abortion groups appears to have begun again. For example, in January 2007 the Gates Foundation gave $25,000 to fund general operating support of the International Women's Health Coalition,<ref>http://www.gatesfoundation.org/AboutUs/Grants/Grant-47811.htm</ref> which lists as a priority "access to safe abortion."<ref>http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm/bay/search.summary/orgid/7733.htm</ref> Also in January 2007, the Gates Foundation gave $200,000 to the Planned Parenthood of Western Washington, an abortion provider, for "a youth development program."<ref>http://www.gatesfoundation.org/Search/default.htm?&keywords=Planned+Parenthood&Category=0&Topic1=0&Topic2=0&DocType=0&UseDate=False&yearFrom=2007&monthFrom=6&dayFrom=7&yearTo=2007&monthTo=7&dayTo=7&SearchType=0&runsearch=Y&startPage=1&recordsPerPage=20&SortBy=RANK&SortOrder=descending&SortType=number</ref><ref>From an open letter posted on the website of the Planned Parenthood of Western Washington: "If you need to make an appointment, contact us at 1-800-yyy-yyyy.

===PATH and the death of children from drug testing===
Bill Gates contributions to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the Indian Government's primary agency tasked with the formulation, coordination and promotion of biomedical research, are [[money laundering|laundered through]] PATH, a Seattle-based [[NGO]] which runs OneWorld Health as PATH's Drug Development operation.<ref>https://www.path.org/media-center/oneworld-health-to-become-an-affiliate-of-path/</ref> Gates has funneled roughly $2 Billion through PATH since 1998.
PATH carried out a large human papilloma virus (HPV) Phase V vaccine trial. Phase V means using approved, not test, vaccines. Certain forms of HPV are associated with cervical cancer. The vaccines in question were granted marketing approval in India in 2008 while the PATH-sponsored trial began in 2009 as a joint project with the ICMR, using donated vaccines from the manufacturers. Low-income rural, largely tribal, households were recruited. The trial was conducted on girls aged 10 to 14.
Public recognition of problems with this trial started with the reported death of 7 girls. Investigations triggered by these deaths uncovered serious violations of the process of informed consent. Aged 10 to 15, girls in this trial were obviously below the age of consent meaning their participation in the trial required the consent of parents/guardians.<ref>http://archive.is/lxTye</ref> The Indian Parliament's Standing Committee on Health began its investigation in April 2010 and concluded that 'safety and rights of children were highly compromised and violated'.

The committee's report found:
*The girls' consent was not fully informed.
*Post-vaccination adverse events weren't adequately monitored or reported.
*PATH and ICMR hadn't sought mandatory permission from the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) or the Indian National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI).
*PATH wasn't even a registered legal entity when it began working with the ICMR.
*DGAI culpable for dereliction of duty.
*The committee's report stated, 'PATH resorted to an element of subterfuge by calling the clinical trial as 'observational studies' or 'demonstration project' and recommended legal action against PATH.<ref>https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-Bill-Gates-faced-trial-in-India-for-illegally-testing-tribal-children-with-vaccines?share=1</ref>
