Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available for global health work?
Global health funding supports infectious-disease control, immunization, maternal and child health, family planning, nutrition, and health-systems strengthening. Funders offer both large program grants and competitive challenge-style awards for novel solutions. Some programs fund implementation and service delivery abroad, while others fund the research and product development behind new diagnostics, drugs, and vaccines.
Who funds global health programs?
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the largest private global-health funder, with grantmaking spanning vaccines, diseases, and global development, and it runs open-call programs such as its Grand Challenges initiative. U.S. government global-health programs and multilateral organizations like the World Health Organization and UNICEF are also major funders. The Gates Foundation frequently funds large intermediary organizations that then sub-grant to smaller nonprofits.
How can a smaller nonprofit access global health funding?
Because the largest funders often work through major intermediaries, a common path for smaller organizations is sub-granting or partnership with a larger implementing organization. Watch for open calls and challenge grants that invite applications directly, and build credibility with documented field results and strong local partnerships. Confirm eligibility carefully, as many programs prioritize tax-exempt organizations and established in-country presence.
