 Our Financial Year has just ended and, as part of our commitment to efficiency, our annual accounts have been generated and are available to view on our Easier-To-Understand (ETU) accounts page.
The audit of the accounts has started and we expect that to be completed in the coming days.
We are able to show our pre-audit numbers within a few hours of the end of our financial year due to the level of automation of our financial systems which brings a number of benefits:
-
Accurate management information - On any aspect of our finances at any time
-
Improved transparency - For management, governance and audit purposes
-
Improved efficiency - Minimal administrative input to prepare the accounts at year end (data is entered most working days during the year)
-
Swift production of our annual accounts - Within 24 hours of the FY end i.e. once the closing balances on our accounts are known the next day
-
Assisting our auditors - Swift availability of our draft annual accounts to give our auditors maximum flexibility in scheduling their work
-
Keeping stakeholders up to date – Providing donors, trustees and other stakeholders timely information on our financial status and performance
A further benefit is that we provide 'real-time' financials on our 'Easier-To-Understand' section of our financial information and our year-to-date (YTD) FY2026 financials are already live.

We are delighted to share the news that we have just gone past the milestone of US$750,000,000 raised since AMF began.
It is thanks to 1,392,451 donations from 228,381 people in 199 countries that we have passed this total. Our thanks to so many people who so generously care about the fight against malaria.
Other numbers, in increasing order of importance, are: 340,323,131 nets funded (or will be) to protect 612 million people in 40 countries leading to, once all nets funded are distributed and have had their impact, an improvement in local economies of US$9 billion, 200 to 250 million cases of malaria averted and an estimated 255,000 deaths prevented.
A very generous donation of £20,000 from JL in the UK was the specific donation that took us past this total. The significant recent grant from GiveWell played a huge part in reaching this total. AMF has been a top charity at GiveWell for all of the last 16 years and is the only charity to have been so ranked continuously over this period, reflecting our commitment to our guiding principles of impact, accountability, transparency and efficiency.
Thank you to all who have donated so far, to all those who have provided pro bono support to AMF as well as to our many partners in the field who work so hard to bring about change.
We are so grateful to everyone.
With funding gaps that exist, AMF's commitment to fighting malaria is as strong as ever and the need to fight this disease is urgent. Every $2 donation matters as much as ever, as each net matters to the two people it protects.
From all of us at AMF – thank you!

Caveat: The net distribution described below has been planned and agreed on the basis that country accesses shipping and distribution costs previously committed to by USAID’s President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI). The recent changes at USAID and PMI have created doubts about how exactly these distributions will proceed - if, in what form and when. We are working with all valued and important partners, particularly PMI, to resolve the uncertainty and do all we can to have nets arrive where they are needed.
AMF has agreed to fund 4.7 million nets for distribution in Zambia in 2026.
We are pleased to share publicly news of this funding commitment which was approved by AMF at the end of last year. Signatures will be put in place when final clarity is achieved on shipping and distribution costs.
The nets should achieve full coverage of sleeping spaces across four provinces to protect 8.5 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
The four provinces that are planned to receive nets are: Luapula (1.3 million nets), Northern (1.3m), North-Western (1.0m), and Western (1.1m).
Zambia is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.
These nets can be expected to prevent around 2,500 deaths, avert more than 2 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of Zambia. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, as a result of AMF’s commitment would be about USD100 million.
Half of these prevented deaths and cases of illness can be ascribed to the funds AMF is allocating, as an equivalent level of funding is being contributed by PMI to cover non-net costs.
We are about to allocate individual donations to these specific distributions and many donations, large and small, will fund these nets.
The distributions will be implemented by the NMEP (National Malaria Elimination Programme), with whom AMF will work closely and with whom we have an agreed set of processes and a strong and open working relationship. We will report transparently on progress and performance throughout and after the distribution.
Key elements of our agreement include:
-
AMF is funding 4,675,350 LLINs, with distribution in 2026
-
This is a co-funding partnership with non-net costs (shipping, pre-distribution, distribution) funded by PMI
-
To support accurate data gathering, verification of net need numbers will take place by re-visiting a material number of households chosen at random
-
Household-level data will be collected using electronic-devices and then transferred into AMF's Data Entry System (DES) for analysis and verification. This, and the above elements combined, are the basis for a highly accountable distribution.
-
Post-distribution monitoring of net use and condition (PDMs) will take place every nine months for two and a half years in all districts. AMF will fund this.

AMF has agreed to fund 19.1 million nets for distribution in Nigeria in 2026 and early 2027.
With final signatures now in place, we are pleased to share publicly news of these net distributions which were approved for funding by AMF at the end of last year.
The nets should achieve full coverage of sleeping spaces across all 111 health zones in five states to protect 34 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
The five states that will receive nets are: Akwa Ibom (4.0 million nets, distribution in Jan26), Kebbi (3.2m, Jan26), Bauchi (4.9m, May26), Benue (4.2m, Dec26) and Plateau (2.8m, Apr27).
The distribution months are those currently expected. There is a possibility of slippage or intentional adjustments to timing.
Nigeria is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.
These nets can be expected to prevent around 10,000 deaths, avert more than 7 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of Nigeria. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, as a result of AMF’s commitment would be about USD500 million.
Half of these prevented deaths and cases of illness can be ascribed to the funds AMF is allocating, as an equivalent level of funding is being contributed by PMI to cover non-net costs.

AMF has agreed to fund 8.3 million nets for distribution in Chad in the first half of 2026.
With final signatures now in place, we are pleased to share publicly news of this net distribution which was approved for funding by AMF, with co-funding from The Global Fund, at the end of last year.
The nets should achieve full coverage of sleeping spaces across 14 of 23 provinces to protect 15 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
Chad is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.
These nets can be expected to prevent 7,000 to 10,000 deaths, avert more than 8 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of Chad.

AMF has agreed to fund 9.5 million nets for distribution in South Sudan in 2026.
With final signatures now in place, we are pleased to share publicly news of this net distribution which was approved for funding by AMF, with co-funding from The Global Fund, at the end of last year.
The nets should achieve full coverage of sleeping spaces across all 10 states and three administrative areas to protect 17 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
South Sudan is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.
These nets can be expected to prevent 8,000 to 12,000 deaths, avert 10 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of South Sudan. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, as a result of AMF’s commitment would be about USD290 million.

 The cuts at USAID, and specifically at the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), are having a material effect on malaria control activities.
The freezing of funds and cancellation of funding, contracts and programmes have created funding gaps and near-term operational challenges.
The immediate focus for AMF, co-funding partners, national health systems and other partners is on those programmes that are due to take place in the next three to nine months. The funding cancellations and uncertainties have created either doubt as to programme continuance or issues that require immediate resolution.
We will write more in the coming weeks and months as the situation becomes clearer.
In the meantime, it seems that the gaps in funding for critical malaria control programmes will increase.
It will not be surprising to hear that AMF would be very interested to hear from any individual or philanthropic group with significant funding that would be interested in supporting malaria control activities. Equally, every US$2 (and equivalent) donation matters, as is evidenced by the more than 139,000 donations received by AMF this year that are AMF’s life-blood, as each net protects two people when they sleep at night - and absolutely matters to the mum and baby or two children that sleep under it at night.
AMF continues to work hard with you for a malaria free future.

 We are thrilled to have been awarded a US$96.3m grant by GiveWell, the San Francisco based nonprofit dedicated to finding outstanding giving opportunities.
This grant has been put to work immediately as it has allowed us to confirm funding for a series of net distributions in 2025 and 2026, all with significant funding gaps. We will publish information about these distributions shortly.
The grant will fund an estimated 44 million long-lasting insecticidal nets (final number dependent upon the final cost/net) that will protect 79 million people when they sleep at night.
In terms of impact, these nets can be expected to prevent 25,000 deaths, avert 20 million cases of malaria and improve the local economy in the region in which the nets will be distributed by an estimated US$1.1 billion (12x the donation amount). When people are ill, they cannot farm, drive, teach – function, so the improvement in health leads to economic as well as humanitarian benefits.
Importantly, this helps reduce the immediate funding gap for AMF's planned net programmes from over US$300m to about US$200m and is a fantastic boost to this work.
We continue to work hard to make sure our programmes are as effective as ever, and can see the urgent need for nets across the countries we work in. Every donation, large and small, is so important as every US$2 funds a net that protects two people and helps us close the gap. A huge donation such as the one received this week is fabulous, and our history also shows that many, more modest sized donations have been, and are, critical to achieving our malaria programmes (AMF's donations statistics).
Thank you for your continued support that is so needed, particularly in uncertain times.

Two generous donors, Mike and Helen Brown, would like to encourage others to make brand new recurring donations to the Against Malaria Foundation.
They will match 1:1 the first six months of any new recurring donation - providing the donor has not previously made a recurring donation to AMF, up to a total matching pot of £350,000. Donations can be in any currency of course.
You can donate online, by mail or by bank.
