- An independent review by law firm WilmerHale found no evidence that the Gates Foundation paid Jeffrey Epstein or that its employees knew of or took part in his criminal activities.
- The review, commissioned by CEO Mark Suzman in March 2026, involved more than 50 interviews and a review of internal documents.
- It found the foundation's engagement with Epstein between 2011 and 2014 centered on a proposed donor-advised fund for global health that was abandoned, and a grant to the International Peace Institute for polio eradication that went through standard due diligence.
- The foundation's board has approved governance reforms, including centralized vetting of third parties and expanded conflict-of-interest policies.
