Yeah, it's his private fund (mostly obtained via MS though)
About five/six years ago he was at a village in Mozambique where I worked at the time. He donated $8kk to a maliaria research institute in person. Great respect.
Nice guy too.
I still stand by that what I wrote sounds catchier than "Support the Gates foundation somehow and help save a starving Ethernopian from Malaria" catchphrase.
And who knows? maybe Uncle Bill's still getting cash from them somehow either through donations to his fund or a company pention or something, so I might not have been too far off.
