For information
If you are considering donating to AMF very soon, there is the possibility your donation could be doubled if you make it via the Double Up Drive.
AMF has been chosen as one of very few charities and there is a matching pot of US$2.6 million.
- Maximum of US$10,000 per donor per charity.
- There is no limit to how many people can donate to AMF
- Likely that the matching pot will still be active until 7-10 December (we will post an update here and on social media)
- To be sure/maximise the chances of a match to your donation, the earlier the donation is made from now (30Nov) the better
- If you donate, please do 'opt in' at Double-Up for your details to be shared with AMF as then we (AMF) can email you a link to show you where your nets will be distributed. Note: We do not add you to a list and we do not send soliciting emails.
Donations are matched on a 'first come, first matched' basis until the matching pot is used up. There is no downside in donating via them, only an upside.

 As we head towards the end of the year, AMF's current immediate funding gap stands at US$77.8 million.
This is the funding we could put to work immediately to protect people when they sleep at night to save lives and prevent illness from malaria.
We have sufficient funds raised to cover our central costs and all net distributions to which we have previously committed.
The immediate funding gap reflects the great potential impact AMF could have with further funds. All publicly raised funds are used exclusively to buy nets.
In past years we have received several significant grants around this time of year that have helped to reduce our funding gap. We hope and expect to receive significant grants this year too, but our funding gap has never gone to zero - we have always had a gap of tens of millions of dollars, and we expect to have a significant funding gap this year too after any large donations.
AMF's immediate funding gap page shows
- a summary: funds in hand able to be committed, funds committed, funds available to be committed, AMF approved programmes seeking funding, the resulting immediate funding gap and programmes we are currently discussing for future distributions
- detail: project level information for a) funds committed (both for nets and monitoring costs); b) AMF approved programmes seeking funding
Information is updated 'real-time' i.e. as donations are received, costs are posted and commitments made so it is always up to date.
