Programs
Integrated health systems delivery: providing quality health care to someone who needs it, when and where they need it, requires a complex web of organizations, individuals, processes and actions that, together, make up a health system. Unfortunately, many national health systems don't work well enough for countries to achieve universal health coverage (uhc): effective, equitable, afordable access to high-quality essential health services to everyone who needs them. Msh strengthens health systems to sustainably and equitably increase coverage of high-quality, responsive, people-centered health services while protecting patients, families, communities, and societies from financial hardship. Applying an integrated systems-thinking approach to a wide variety of contexts - including countries where governments struggle to deliver basic services - while evolving from conflict and fragility to sustainability. Msh works side-by-side with country stakeholders across the public and private sectors to strengthen institutional governance, financing leadership and accountability, so that health systems can effectively transition from donor assistance toward national sustainability and…

We develop state-of-the-art training programs and tools and train pharmacists in some of the most vulnerable countries in the world to enable them to rely on a steady supply of safe, quality medicines and train them how to dispense them properly. We work to expand the understanding of what is required to design and implement sustainable medicines benefit packages as a component of universal health coverage - through public and private health insurance in low-income countries. Msh's program also shares global pharmaceutical data analytics, ensures quality of medicines, develops pharmaceutical software, and innovates and applies proven health technologies.

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 2024 to 2025, from $74M to $58M (−21%).
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: 2017 33% · 2018 62% · 2019 61% · 2020 75% · 2021 75% · 2022 90% · 2023 87% · 2024 90% · 2025 82%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of MANAGEMENT SCIENCES FOR HEALTH INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (98% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 10 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $6.9M → $7.6M.
6 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $5.5M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Partnership for Supply Chain Management). These are real filings, and they are not money MANAGEMENT SCIENCES FOR HEALTH INC raised.
From the IRS filings of MANAGEMENT SCIENCES FOR HEALTH INC’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
MANAGEMENT SCIENCES FOR HEALTH INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 30% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
54% 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 MANAGEMENT SCIENCES FOR HEALTH INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 38% · 2018 28% · 2019 48% · 2020 47% · 2021 35% · 2022 29% · 2023 40% — broadly stable.
“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
53% of MANAGEMENT SCIENCES FOR HEALTH INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 71% 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
MANAGEMENT SCIENCES FOR HEALTH INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Massachusetts, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $982k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states 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.
