 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.
