Not sure how the Gates foundation (T20 Private Grantmaking Foundation)
is relevant in the context of the FSF like foundation NTEE Code: Z99
(Unknown) ["organization is seeking funds from contributions and grants.

in compensation for a part time job at his own charity SFLC between
2/01/05-01/31/06. No more recent FORM 990 available yet.
