AMF’s immediate funding gaps
AMF has had a busy last 18 months with a recent 9 month period seeing 85 million nets distributed to protect 155 million people.
There remains much work to do and significant opportunities in front of our team of 14 and our partners as we look at the coming months and the year ahead.
AMF’s 12 month funding gap sits at a little more than US$250m. This is made up of an immediate funding gap i.e. funds we can allocate immediately, of US$81.5m, a near term gap i.e. funds we would be able to allocate in the next six months, of US$75m, and a medium term gap i.e allocation in the next 7 to 12 months, of US$100m. More information here.
One of the reasons for the critical, immediate funding gaps is the shortfall in the total raised by the Global Fund in their last replenishment round which has meant that more significant funding gaps exist currently than had been hoped for or expected.
We feel fortunate as an organisation to receive occasional individual donations of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Our lifeblood is the many tens of thousands of donations we receive that are of US$2, £5, €10, NZD20, CHF30, AUD50 etc that underpin our work. No donation is too small as every US$2 matters and buys a net that protects two people when they sleep at night. All donations, given our immediate gap, are put to work straight away with each donor seeing exactly where the nets they fund are distributed with an ability to track their progress from manufacture, through shipping and in-country transport, to eventual distribution.
We hope 2025 will be a busy year for donations as we try and close as many funding gaps as we can to protect as many people as we can.
Thanks for reading, and for your interest in what we do—Rob, CEO, AMF

Thanks, Rob. Do you think Against Malaria Foundation is more cost-effective than Shrimp Welfare Project’s Humane Slaughter Initiative, which I estimate is 64.3 k times as cost-effective as GiveWell’s top charities?
Hi Vasco—Animal welfare and the numbers surrounding it are not my area of expertise. I am pleased it is a priority for others.
