Which foundation was founded by Warren Buffett in 1964 and later renamed after his wife?

The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation was founded by Warren Buffett in 1964 and later renamed for his wife, Susan Thompson Buffett.

It began in Omaha as the Buffett Foundation, a vehicle for managing Warren Buffett’s charitable giving. Susan Buffett, his first wife, was closely associated with the family’s philanthropic work and served as president of the foundation.

Susan Thompson Buffett died in 2004, and the organization was renamed that year in her honor. The name can cause confusion because Buffett’s family philanthropy also includes the Sherwood Foundation, the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, and the Buffett Early Childhood Fund.

The foundation has supported reproductive health, family planning, and education. It is also associated with the Susan T. Buffett Scholarship, which provides college support to eligible Nebraska students. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is a separate organization that Warren Buffett has also supported through major donations.
