Mission
GAPPS' Mission Is To Improve Birth Outcomes Worldwide
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
PERINATAL RESEARCHDeveloping a successful array of solutions for adverse birth outcomes urgently requires a broader understanding of normal pregnancy. We need to close our knowledge gaps before we can close our solution gaps.In addition to convening global scientific experts around the challenge to methodically study pregnancy and early newborn health, GAPPS is working with partners to close these gaps by: Leading global harmonization efforts to strengthen perinatal research; establishing standard definitions and classifications for preterm birth and stillbirth; founding a widely accessible biorepository focused on maternal and newborn health; building research capacity in low- and middle-income countries; establishing ethical guidelines for pregnancy-related research in low- and middle-income countries; working to inform global policy and advocacy efforts for preterm birth and stillbirth; discovering and promoting basic and translational science in preterm birth and maternal/child health; defining the global burden of prematurity and stillbirth; developing evidence-based interventions appropriate to low-resource settings to reduce the burden of maternal and neonatal disease

$104,105 spent28% of program spendingENSPIREENSPIRE Study: Engaging Staff to Improve COVID-19 Vaccination Rates at Long-Term Care Facilities. In the United States, COVID-19 was first seen in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). The pandemic has particularly burdened these facilities. It is crucial that workers at LTCFs are vaccinated against COVID-19 to protect themselves, their families, and the older adults in their care. However, LTCF workers have lower vaccination rates than needed to protect them and the people they care for.Many LTCF staff belong to immigrant, refugee, and/or racial and ethnic groups that due to historical and current racism and mistreatment do not trust information from governments or doctors about vaccines. This project will work with LTCF staff to offer COVID-19 vaccine information that is trustworthy and tailored to the needs of language or cultural groups. The specific goals of this project are to: 1)Compare two ways of tailoring information about the COVID-19 vaccines for specific LTCFs staff populations versus the generic materials that are usually distributed. We will test if and how much more these two tailoring approaches increase vaccination rates of LTCFs staff compared to generic…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $756k to $1.9M (+151%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 52% · 2023 37%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
1% of GAPPS Global Alliance To Prevent Prematurity And Stillbirth’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (62% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
94% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund GAPPS Global Alliance To Prevent Prematurity And Stillbirth.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 54% · 2019 82% · 2020 81% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

How long its funders stay
25% of GAPPS Global Alliance To Prevent Prematurity And Stillbirth's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 44% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
69% of GAPPS Global Alliance To Prevent Prematurity And Stillbirth's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $188 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
