Funders

The work IAVI does would not be possible without the generous funders, individuals, and partners around the world who have supported our mission since our founding in 1996

For almost three decades, IAVI has been fortunate to receive funding from a diverse array of supporters, including government agencies, philanthropic organizations, and academic institutions. We gratefully acknowledge all who have supported us along the way, and together, we look forward to a future where everyone, everywhere has equitable access to innovative vaccines and therapeutics.
