Gates May Devote Millions to China Initiative

August 17, 2006

A spokesperson confirmed Wednesday that the Seattle, Wash.-based Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is close to reaching an agreement to launch an AIDS initiative in China. Published reports saying the foundation's contribution would be $200 million over five years are incorrect, said Jacquelline Fuller. "That is actually the figure for our India program, not our China program. A final funding decision for China has not been made, but it will be significantly smaller than the $200 [million] figure," she said.
