( sub s stock , real estate. illiquid positions ). yours would/could take advantage of its unique scale. we would make yours a minimum donation of a x ( anywhere from 100 m to 1 B ). that would also change its character. I met with Reid Hoffman for quite awhile on the subject , and he would sign on in a heartbeat. Though he has Iconic investing his and his colleagues money , it is a parochial operation. Its like the sams club for billionaires , buying time on planes in bulk. etc. Hoe ou and Melinda had a good holiday and this year is easier for everyone. If you want to speak , Im on all day On Sun, Jan 5, 2014 at 1:08 PM, Bill Gates c wrote: The Community Foundation is just like a DAF for Mark — he gets the tax benefit now in a more generous form and he is not subject to 5% minimum giving and he still controls the funds. It is smart for him to use this vehicle. I guess there are some minimums if you use this structure — I should understand that better. They key thing we are talking about as I understand it is an easy way for people to give to high impact causes where we structure things for them. This is becoming clearer to me. We would have about 4 poor world health things, 1 poor world agriculture thing and 2 US education things that people could direct money to. If they commit in advance to give some minimum amounts to these things then they get our commitment to manage the funds. I am unclear of we are the actual DAF or we let them pick a DAF and just enter into a collaboration agreement.
