    STBF’s deep pockets aren’t surprising, given that it was founded by billionaire Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett and his wife, the late Susan Thompson Buffett.
    Susan was a director of Berkshire Hathaway and president of the Buffett Foundation.
    Susan Thompson Buffett died in 2004 and left almost all of her Berkshire shares, worth about $3 billion at the time, to the foundation, which was renamed for her.
    STBF gave out more than $5 billion in total between 2003 and 2018, including hundreds of millions to branches of Planned Parenthood and to Ipas, an international nonprofit that focuses on safe abortions and contraception.
    Every year, STBF receives big infusions of Berkshire Hathaway stock from Warren—gifts that totaled $259 million in 2018.
