Yes, the founder of Amazon does donate to a variety of charities and causes, although maybe not as much as Bill Gates. Between 2009 and 2017, he donated several times to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research center. Although the more recent years are a time of controversy for the entrepreneur, we can also notice a dramatic increase in his involvement in philanthropy. From 2017 onwards, he donated billions of dollars to combat homelessness and the disastrous effects of climate change, as well as to support education and the freedom of press. For more specific examples of organizations and causes the investor has donated to, take a look at the “Charity” lane on the Jeff Bezos Timeline at the top of the page.
