The organisation was established with a 99 percent investment of the couple's wealth from their Facebook shares.

The Meta CEO took two months off following the birth of their first child and second child. He announced that he would take a paternity leave on his public Facebook account.

Zuckerberg had previously shared that Chan had suffered three miscarriages and spoke about how couples generally cope with the loss on their own and avoid discussions about the same.

The couple decided to share their experience with miscarriages to help others who faced the same loss remain helpful.

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan met in a queue for the washroom at a party and began dating in 2003. The couple moved in together in 2010 and got married two years later.
