Melinda French Gates to match up to $1 million in donations for two nonprofits on GivingTuesday.

Melinda French Gates, philanthropist and co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will match up to $1 million in donations to support two nonprofits on GivingTuesday: the Vote Mama Foundation, which aids mothers in politics, and the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers, which supports caregivers. GivingTuesday, held annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, saw $3.1 billion in donations last year but a slight drop in the number of participants. Gates aims to boost enthusiasm for charitable giving through her matching funds, part of her broader mission to support women and families.
