Proceeds are subject to change from factors including new pledges announcements, GAVI's cash flow needs from IFFIm and the impact of foreign currency changes. Figures do not include IFFIm agreements that have yet to be formally signed.

  • Funding history

    As a founding partner of the GAVI Alliance, the Gates Foundation has brought international attention to the cause of immunisation and has made several commitments to GAVI, totalling US$ 2.5 billion to-date. In 2000, the foundation made an initial US$ 750 million commitment to the Vaccine Fund, which was catalytic in bringing other donors to support vaccine delivery and creating the GAVI Alliance.

    In 2005, the foundation made a ten-year pledge of US$ 750 million to GAVI, an example of the long-term and predictable contributions that are key to GAVI’s programming. In February 2007, the foundation committed US$ 50 million to launch the first AMC to speed the development and availability of pneumococcal vaccines.

    At the most recent pledging conference in June 2011, the Gates Foundation committed an additional US$ 1 billion to GAVI over the period 2011-2015; of this commitment, US$ 50 million is reserved for the GAVI Matching Fund; US$ 33 million was used to match a commitment of US$ 33 million for 2011-2013 from His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan for 2011-2013; the Gates Foundation also matched the year on year increase of commitments from Germany for 2011 and 2012.

    In addition, US$ 250 million of the US$ 1 billion is reserved to match additional funds raised by other donors in the future released as these commitments are made.

    Contributions and pledges in total:

    • direct funding (2000-2015): US$ 2.5 billion;
    • AMC: US$ 50 million;
    • GAVI Matching Fund (2011-2015): US$ 50 million.
