Financial year 2025

Where your money goes

Total expenditure of $253.2M across five categories. We report fundraising and administration separately rather than folding either into programme costs, which is why our programme ratio is lower than some organisations claim.

Health programmes Emergency response Research & evaluation Fundraising Administration

Health programmes
74% $187.4M
Clinical services, medicines, salaries for frontline health workers and the supply chain that reaches them.
Emergency response
9% $22.8M
Standing surge capacity, pre-positioned supplies and active deployments.
Research & evaluation
6% $15.2M
Independent evaluation, open data publication and the field research that decides what we fund next.
Fundraising
7% $17.7M
The cost of raising the next year of funding. We report this separately rather than folding it into programmes.
Administration
4% $10.1M
Finance, legal, audit, safeguarding and the governance functions that keep us accountable.

Where it comes from

No single funder holds more than 9% of our income

Concentration is a governance risk, not just a financial one. A funder large enough to close a programme by withdrawing is a funder large enough to shape what the programme says. We cap any single source at 10% of annual income.

That is the main reason we ask individuals for monthly gifts: many small, predictable commitments are the least conflicted money we can take.

Give monthly
Individual donors
41%
Institutional & government grants
33%
Foundations
19%
Corporate partnerships
7%

Percentages are of $261.0M total income for the year ended 31 December 2025. The surplus over expenditure was held as restricted emergency reserve.
