Doctor Fred Hollows was an Australian eye specialist who could have become a wealthy man simply by practising in his own country. Instead, he travelled around some of the poorest countries in the world, providing his services free of charge, raising awareness of sight problems in poor nations and encouraging other to follow his example. The Fred Hollows Foundation continues his work. Regarding his beliefs, Dr. Hollows said, "I am a humanist, I don't believe in any higher power than the best expressions of the human spirit, and those are to be found in personal and social relationships."
One person who certainly is an atheist is Bill Gates. Unlike Dr Hollows, Bill Gates is a very rich man, but he is giving away most of his wealth to help provide cures for diseases that affect the very poor in this world. Bill Gates set up the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

What is the difference between endowment and foundation?
"The primary difference between foundations and endowments is that the foundations are established with a pot of money and no further funds are added to it, whereas endowments can fundraise on an ongoing basis. Foundations are usually established for charitable purposes by an individual or a family, whereas endowments are public charities (i.e. many donors) for example for purpose of education. Time horizon is usually perpetuity for both, though foundations it could be finite. Foundations are required to spend a minimum of 5% of assets annually in order to protect their tax-free status, and but both may have to spend even more depending on the needs of the beneficiary."

Why are atheists persecuted by society?
There are probably several reasons; most religions tend to be suspicious of people with beliefs outside of their own - blasphemy is still illegal in many countries. Some countries have religious foundations and it is illegal to be an atheist in some of these; as it used to be in Britain. Dictatorships tend to attack atheists because atheism is associated with the intellectual - Hitler persecuted atheists, probably because of this. Many people also believe that morality comes from religion and that, "therefore" atheists cannot be moral people (it should be noted, that this belief does not really stand up to much examination).
Has atheism established hospitals and orphanages?
