About us
Based in Geneva, the WHO Foundation is an independent grant-making foundation that sets out to protect the health and well-being of everyone in every part of the world, working alongside the World Health Organization. It supports donors, scientists, experts, implementers, advocates from every country, in rapidly finding new and better solutions to the most pressing global health challenges of today and tomorrow.
The Foundation targets evidence-based initiatives with the potential to support WHO’s contributions towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 (To ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all). It is focused on reducing health risks, averting pandemics, better managing diseases, and creating stronger health systems. It tackles these areas by building awareness and supporting its partners, including WHO, so that every life is invested in and the world ready for any health emergency that may arise.

Latest project news
We received a payout of €77.02
Go Give One was a COVID-19 fundraising campaign with no borders. Created by the WHO Foundation, the campaign called on everyone, everywhere to play their part in helping to vaccinate the world.
Together, you rose to the challenge.
Thanks to your generous support, we raised more than US$19 million to support the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines to populations in low- and middle-income countries. You helped protect those who needed vaccines the most.
Earlier this year, the Director-General of the World Health Organisation finally declared an end to the global emergency of COVID-19. So we have now shut down the Go Give One campaign.
While COVID-19 is no longer the threat it once was, the effects of the pandemic are far from over and profound health inequities remain. At the WHO Foundation, we continue to harness the collective power of people everywhere to give everyone the best chance of a happy and healthy life - no matter where they live and work.
