Sheryl Sandberg’s departure from Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. FB, +5.42% puts her on a growing list of female billionaires who have recently turned their attention to philanthropy. But some observers say that has come at a cost.
“Sheryl Sandberg’s impact on the industry in terms of paving the way for women is undeniable. What’s also undeniable is that she was part of an institution that has weakened our democracy.’” Option B.Org, started in the wake of the unexpected death of Sandberg’s husband, Dave Goldberg, seeks to help people who’ve experienced adversity and loss, including survivors of abuse and sexual assault. The foundation also gives scholarships to graduates of KIPP schools, a network of charter schools in low-income neighborhoods, according to its most recent tax filing.
Zuckerberg and Chan said earlier this year that the voting-related donations were a one-time gift that would not be repeated in upcoming election cycles. French Gates, who helped launch the Giving Pledge with her then-husband in 2010, reportedly said earlier this year that she will no longer be giving the bulk of her fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and will instead divide her resources among other philanthropic initiatives, including her own Pivotal Ventures company.
