“I am a nurse who had worked hard for over 30 years but I invested in the wrong businesses and was on the verge of losing my house. A friend told me about Affecting Lives, it’s the best thing that’s happened to me till date.”
Changing lives, one person at a time…
Created by MacKenzie Scott, Melinda French Gates and Amos Hostetter Jr. in March 2012 to tackle some of the general public’s most urgent complications, it was not until October 2012 before The Affecting Lives Foundation really took off following the involvement of over 50 of America’s wealthiest people committed to the vision of being able to make a difference in the life of the regular person on the street, irrespective of race, creed or affiliation.
Making the world a better place…
The Affecting Lives Foundation was originally focused on the United States, and then it rapidly spread as philanthropists from across the globe registered their interest to be a part of it. The Affecting Lives Foundation is inspired by the virtuous examples set by millions of people at all income levels who give generously – and often at great personal sacrifice – to make the world better.
