    Note: Proceeds are the funds made available to GAVI for the period from donor contributions and commitments, either through cash payments made to GAVI, through the frontloading via the capital markets of a donor future commitment to IFFIm, or AMC funds released to GAVI via the World Bank. 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

    Comic Relief is UK-based charity that strives to create a just world free from poverty. Its mission is to drive positive change through the power of entertainment. Since being launched on Christmas Day in 1985, live on BBC television, Comic Relief has raised millions of pounds through two big fundraising campaigns: Red Nose Day and Sport Relief. That money is used to tackle the root causes of poverty and social injustice. The idea is simple: Comic Relief makes the public laugh as a way to raise money to help people in desperate need.

    In 2012, Comic Relief raised £2.5 million (about US$ 3.9 million) toward children’s immunisation from the Sport Relief campaign. Sport Relief is one of the UK’s biggest fundraising events, attracting major stars to call attention to critical needs, such as immunisation.

    In 2013, Comic relief pledged an additional £ 5 million (US$ 7.6 million) from the Red Nose Day campaign.

    All of Comic Relief’s contributions are matched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, bringing the sum to £ 15 million (US$ 23 million)

    Contributions and pledges in total:

    • GAVI Matching Fund (2012-2013): US$ 11.5 million (£7.5 million).
    • Matched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation: US$ 11.5 million.
