Click here if you’re interested in his old and revised position). However, we have to give Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda, credit for doing great things with all of their money. Mr. Gates is stepping down from running Microsoft on a daily basis and he’s dedicating himself to being a full-time philanthropist. Bill and Melinda have started the “Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation”. Their philanthropy has inspired Warren Buffet (the second richest man in the world) to donate much of his vast fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Mr. Buffet’s trust and confidence in Bill and Melinda is good enough for us!

One of the many charities that Bill and Melinda have contributed to is “Opportunity International”. Opportunity International is involved in microfinance. Microfinance is the concept of providing small loans, usually between $50 and $100, to individuals in poor countries who don’t have any other way to get credit for starting their own business. The recipients of these microloans are able to start their own businesses and work their own way out of poverty! Cool, huh? One of the best things about this program is the fact that once a borrower has paid back the loan (and the payback percentage is extremely high), the money gets circulated back to another deserving individual! Another great thing about this charity is that 98% of all the money donated goes directly to help the poor.

So, we know that you have many choices regarding which charities to donate to, but we highly recommend giving part of your charitable donations to Opportunity International.
