”la Caixa” Foundation renews its partnership with Gavi with first multi-annual commitment


The ”la Caixa” Foundation has increased its contribution to the Alliance for Child Vaccination to €3 million per year. This renewed commitment, unveiled during the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, extends the partnership with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance for a three-year period through 2027, underscoring the ”la Caixa” Foundation’s dedication to advancing global health and immunisation efforts.

The Alliance for Child Vaccination was launched by the ”la Caixa” Foundation in 2008 in partnership with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance in Europe, with support from the Gates Foundation and in collaboration with the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal). Since its inception, this initiative has raised over €100 million, enabling the immunisation of millions of children – primarily against pneumonia – in highly vulnerable areas of Africa that lack access to vaccines.

This success has been made possible through contributions from the ”la Caixa” Foundation; donations from 5,500 companies across Spain as part of a philanthropy initiative included in their corporate social responsibility programmes; and contributions from supportive citizens. All contributions and donations received are quadrupled through the matching fund formula 1=4, by which every euro donated is matched by an additional euro from the ”la Caixa” Foundation, up to €3 million annually.
