The United States of America is one of the Vaccine Alliance’s original six donor countries and contributes to Gavi through direct contributions. US global health assistance has emphasised ending preventable child deaths through high-impact, low-cost interventions. The provision of vaccines and immunisations through Gavi is an important component of these efforts. Moreover, the US continues to be a key partner to Gavi by coordinating programmatic objectives to ensure greater efficiency and impact on the ground.
USA annual contributions to Gavi increased from US$ 48 million in 2001 to US$ 300 million in 2024. At Gavi’s first pledging conference in June 2011, the USA pledged US$ 450 million for the period 2012–2014. At the Gavi pledging conference in January 2015, the USA pledged US$ 1 billion for the period 2015–2018. And at the Global Vaccine Summit in June 2020, the USA pledged US$ 1.16 billion to Gavi for the period 2020–2023. At the launch of Gavi’s Investment Opportunity 2026–2030, the USA made an historic five-year pledge of at least US$ 1.58 billion. This consistent increase in support demonstrates the strength of the longstanding partnership between the USA and Gavi.The USA was the largest donor to the Gavi COVAX AMC, having contributed US$ 4 billion for COVID-19 vaccine procurement and delivery, as well as hundreds of millions of donated vaccine doses through the COVAX dose sharing programme. In April 2021, the USA co-hosted the “One World Protected” event that launched the Investment Opportunity for the Gavi COVAX AMC, which brought together world leaders, civil society and technical partners to galvanise resources for the AMC.
Proceeds are funds made available to Gavi from donor contributions and commitments, either through: cash payments made to Gavi, through frontloading via the capital markets of a future donor commitment to IFFIm; or Advance Market Commitment (AMC) funds released to Gavi via the World Bank. IFFIm proceeds are allocated over five-year periods coinciding with Gavi’s strategic periods. Proceeds for the current and future strategic periods are indicative until the end of each period and could be revised following changes in market conditions (interest rates or foreign exchange rates), the signing of new pledge(s) and/or changes in IFFIm’s disbursement profile.

General notes regarding IFFIm contributions:
Due to IFFIm’s nature as a frontloading vehicle, yearly contributions paid into IFFIm can differ significantly from yearly proceeds transferred to Gavi.
While IFFIm grants are irrevocable and legally binding, they are subject to a Grant Payment Condition that can potentially reduce the donor’s amount due, in the event that a Gavi-supported programme country is in protracted arrears with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Since 29 June 2021, no reduction applies, as all countries from the reference portfolio have cleared their arrears with the IMF.
