1889 He proved to be central to the suggestion and subsequent design of the funding plans for the creation by Rockefeller, Sr. of the Baptist University of Chicago, he subsequently served for many years as a trustee on its board.[1]
1889 On January 21, 1889, Gates met the lifetime Baptist, John D. Rockefeller, Sr.
1892-1912 From 1892 onwards, faced with his ever expanding investments and real estate holdings, Rockefeller Sr. recognized the need for professional advice and so he formed a four-member committee, later including his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,...
1892-1912 In this capacity Gates steered Rockefeller Sr. money predominantly to syndicates arranged by the investment house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and, to a lesser extent, the house of J. P. Morgan.
1901 In 1901, Gates designed the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (now Rockefeller University), of which he was board president.
1901-? Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research
1901-1906 John D Rockefeller first had the notion to set up a large-scale foundation in 1901, but it was not until 1906 that Senior's business and philanthropic advisor, Frederick Taylor Gates, seriously revived the idea,...

1909 In 1909 he signed over 73,000 shares of Standard Oil of New Jersey, valued at $50 million, to the three inaugural trustees, Junior, Gates and Harold Fowler McCormick, the first installment of a projected $100 million endowment.
1910-1911 However, because of the ongoing (1911) antitrust suit against Standard Oil at the time, along with deep suspicion in some quarters of undue Rockefeller influence on the spending of the endowment, ...
1912 By 1912, however, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. was taking control of philanthropic policies, with Gates slipping to second place.
1912-1929 Gates focused exclusively on philanthropy after 1912. He moved Rockefeller from doling out retail sums to specific recipients to the wholesale process of setting up well-funded foundations that were run by experts who decided what topics of...
1912-1929 When he ceased being a business advisor to Rockefeller in 1912, Gates continued to advise him and his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., on philanthropic matters, at the same time serving on many corporate boards.
1912? Although Gates never quite lost his religion, [7] he began shifting the direction from religious charities to decidedly more secular pursuits like medical research and education.
1913 He then designed the Rockefeller Foundation, becoming a trustee upon its creation in 1913.
1913-Today Rockefeller Foundation
1914 Gates designed the China Medical Board (CMB) in 1914.
1914-Today China Medical Board (CMB)
1924 In 1924, Gates overreached, asking the Rockefeller Foundation Board to invest $265 million in the China Medical Board.
Although Gates is recognized today as a philanthropic advisor, Rockefeller himself regarded him as the greatest businessman he had encountered in his life, skipping such prominent figures of the time as Henry Ford and Andrew Carnegie.[4]
Although Rockefeller himself believed in folk medicine, the billionaire listened to his experts, and Gates convinced him that he could have the greatest impact by modernizing medicine especially by reforming education, sponsoring research to identify cures

Gates served as president of the General Education Board, which became the leading foundation in the field of education.[6]
Gates was a progressive and committed to the Efficiency Movement.
He also served as president of the General Education Board, which was subsequently merged into other Rockefeller family institutions.[5]
He looked for leverage whereby a few millions of dollars would generate significant changes, as in the creation of a new university, the eradication of hookworm because it reduced efficiency or the revolution in hospitals caused by the Flexner Report.
Instead of focusing on preventive health, they urged sick and dying patients to convert. Gates planned to take over the Peking Union Medical College and retrain missionaries there.
Rather than viewing China through the traditional missionary lens of millions of heathens to be converted, Gates placed his faith in science.
Working at the intersection of philanthropy, imperialism, big business, religion, and science, the China Medical Board was his last major project.
