Owing to the need for finding an appropriate philanthropic organization to invest in, I hereby provide a recommendation of the most appropriate organization. I will discuss two possible organizations to fund, and between the two, recommend the best. These two organizations are Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Gates Foundation) and Make-A-Wish Foundation. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Gates Foundation) is a private philanthropic foundation that was founded by the chairperson of the Microsoft Corporation Bill Gates together with his wife Melinda. The roles of the foundation include provision of quality healthcare and reduction of poverty around the world. Moreover, the foundation strives to improve education and access to information technology in America. The foundation is concerned about the welfare of people in developing countries. For that reason, the Gates Foundations aim is to improve the livelihood of people in developing countries by helping them to fight diseases and poverty. On the other hand, Make-A-Wish Foundation is a philanthropic organization that takes care of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The organization’s aim is to make the wishes of such children come true. In order for a child to qualify for help from this organization, it is important for a physician to prove that the child has a life-threatening medical condition. The family of Microsoft Corporation’s founder Bill Gates founded the Gates Foundation in the year 1997. Initially, the corporation was referred to as the William H. Gates Foundation, and had a financial portfolio of US$94 million. However, as the foundation expanded and merged with smaller organizations, its name was changed to Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The organization was renamed in the year 2000 after incorporation of the Gates Learning Foundation that was established to improve the quality of education. In 2008, Bill Gates resigned from active leadership at Microsoft Corporation in order to dedicate his time to managing the Gates Foundation. In 2010, The Commission of Education of Health Professionals was created as a constituent of the Gates Foundation to educate health professionals and thus improve delivery of quality health services. The Make-A-wish Foundation was founded in the year 1993 after the death of James Greicius who had Leukemia. He had a dream of becoming a police officer but his condition presented numerous obstacles. Tommy Austin, a customs police officer helped Greicius make his dream come true. He made arrangements that gave Greicius an opportunity to live his dream life for a day. The experience was aimed at lifting the mod and spirits of Greicius. Even though he did not live to pursue his dream career, his wish came true. After this incident, the Make-A Wish Foundation was founded to fulfill the wishes of children living with threatening medical conditions. The table below compares the two organizations with regard to their annual income, investments, and people they serve.
