This announcement comes alongside plans to significantly increase the foundation's philanthropic giving. Gates explained that he wants to ensure his resources are used effectively during his lifetime and while he remains deeply engaged in the foundation's work.

Gates has indicated that he will work to ensure a smooth transition and that the foundation's work will continue to have a lasting legacy. The details of this transition are expected to be outlined in the coming years.
