What Gavi Alliance does
Mission
To save lives and protect people's health by increasing equitable and sustainable use of vaccines.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Covax facility ended on december 31, 2023, after having delivered nearly 2 billion covid-19 vaccine doses and safe injection devices to 146 economies, and is estimated to have averted over 2.7 million deaths in amc lower-income participating economies. The gavi board agreed in december 2023 to continue supporting countries in 2024-2025 with covid-19 vaccines through the covid-19 vaccine programme which was integrated into the gavi-core programmes.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
The vaccine goal: introduce and scale up vaccinesin 2024, lower-income countries protected more people, against more diseases, than any year in history.- 58 gavi-supported vaccine introductions and preventive campaigns took place in 2024 in addition to 50 outbreak response vaccination campaigns supported by gavi.- 32.6 million girls fully immunized against hpv with gavi support in 2024 alone more than the previous ten years combined.- 17 countries accessed cholera, meningococcal and yellow fever vaccines through gavi-supported emergency stockpiles a total of 44 times in 2024.- 57 gavi-supported countries increased breadth of protection with vaccines in the gavi portfolio to 63%, up 8 percentage points from 2023.the equity goal: strengthen health systems to increase equity in immunizationin gavi 5.0/5.1, health system strengthening (hss) support prioritizes equity in immunisation delivery, to reduce the number of zero-dose and under-immunized children.- >72 million children were reached with gavi-supported routine vaccines in 2024 more than in any year previously.- 48 countries have installed more than 64,000 cold chain equipment (cce) units procured by unicef supply division…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $3,021,136,527.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $6.9B to $16.3B (+136%).
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: 2020 82% · 2021 80% · 2022 87% · 2023 71% · 2024 64%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
79% of GAVI ALLIANCE’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (98% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income fell $5.0M → $322k.
11 of 25 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 87% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of GAVI ALLIANCE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
GAVI ALLIANCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 75%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
92% 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 GAVI ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 33% · 2022 84% · 2023 45% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
6% of GAVI ALLIANCE's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 24% 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.
