Beginning grant-investing activities in 2012, the ELMA Vaccines & Immunization Foundation works to expand vaccine and immunisation coverage for children globally.
In 2014, ELMA pledged US$ 2 million to support urgent supply chain needs at country level, to overcome barriers to delivering temperature-sensitive vaccines to remote areas. The pledge is matched by the UK Government through the Gavi Matching Fund, bringing the total sum to US$ 4 million.
In 2018, ELMA partnered with Gavi INFUSE Pacesetter Nexleaf Analytics to scale up its innovative temperature-sensing technology to support the cold chain, aiming to increase coverage and vaccine introductions in the United Republic of Tanzania. ELMA pledged US$ 1.7 million, which was matched by the Gavi Matching Fund , bringing the total sum to US$ 3.4 million.
At the Global Vaccine Summit 2020, ELMA pledged an additional US$ 1.5 million for Gavi and Nexleaf, again matched by the Gavi Matching Fund, for a total of US$ 3 million, building on the UR Tanzania investment to support end-to-end vaccine temperature monitoring.
In 2023, ELMA expanded its partnership through a US$ 3.75 million co-investment, alongside the Gates Foundation and Gavi Matching Fund, to support the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) in Ethiopia in reaching zero-dose and under-immunised children, and generating evidence for sustainable integrated delivery models.
In 2024, ELMA partnered with Gavi and UNICEF on a US$ 3.7 million multi-country project to reduce the number of zero-dose children in urban and informal settlement settings.
Also in 2024, ELMA contributed US$ 400,000 to Gavi’s Zipline expansion in Nigeria, part of a broader US$ 4.4 million package with The UPS Foundation, IFPW, other private donors and the Gavi Matching Fund, to expand last-mile delivery of vaccines and essential health commodities.
