We are absolutely thrilled to have recently been awarded a US$5m grant from Good Ventures, the San Francisco based philanthropic foundation.
This is the largest grant AMF has ever received (previously US$1.25m, also from Good Ventures) and it will make a huge impact on fighting malaria, saving many lives, reducing illness and boosting economic growth.
It comes at an exciting time for AMF as we work to expand the number and scale of the projects we support. We have no doubt it will be pivotal.
Every single donation is important, no matter how large, in the fight against malaria. There is a huge gap between the funding available and the net need. We never forget that every $3 buys a net and every person covered by a net is potentially a life saved. There are now over 99,000 donations to AMF. Together we have built a community that will keep the fight against malaria high on the international agenda. We are aiming to secure a further US$20+m for the projects we are currently considering. Aside the occasional marvellous large donation, the majority of AMF’s funds come from donors giving less than $100 and we are incredibly grateful for every one of them.
