Bruce Baker on the Final Piece of KIPP's 4 Million Dollar Study

Not to worry.  Gates, alone, has given tens of millions to the KIPP home office and many of its chains. Hundreds of millions of tax-sheltered dollars have been given by hedge funds, CEOs, corporate foundations, etc.  Gates has a history with Mathematica, having paid almost a half-million dollars for some research in 2009 on another of his projects.  If there is any doubt that Gates expects to get his money's worth, have a look at the description of this grant's purpose:
