The Gates Foundation

It had an endowment of US$38.3 billion as of 30 June 2013.[3] The scale of the foundation and the way it seeks to apply business techniques to giving makes it one of the leaders in the philanthrocapitalism revolution in global philanthropy,

In 2007, its founders were ranked as the second most generous philanthropists in America, and Warren Buffett the first.[6]

As of May 16, 2013, Bill Gates had donated US$28 billion to the foundation.[7]

Donating $28 billion isn't for tax purposes/
