Melinda French Gates and Daughters Back $100 Million Women’s Health Fund
What Happened
Melinda French Gates and daughters Jennifer Gates Nassar and Phoebe Gates are founding supporters of the Women’s Health Co-Lab, launched by ICONIQ Impact with Co-Impact in September 2025. The initiative aims to mobilize $100 million, with more than $70 million initially committed, to support 22 organisations working on maternal health, reproductive health and rights, and gender-based violence.
Key Takeaways
The fund provides its 22 selected organisations with unrestricted support over three years. Phoebe Gates said it was “unacceptable” that women in 2025 were still confronting persistent challenges involving health and safety.
