Funding for Neglected Diseases Grants

We accept letters of inquiry (LOI) for grants in our Neglected Diseases initiative. Occasionally, we issue requests for proposals (RFP).
  • The foundation awards the majority of its grants to U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations and other tax-exempt organizations identified by our staff.
  • We are unable to fund grants to individuals. (Learn why)

Funding Priorities

We invest our efforts where we determine that effective and affordable methods will treat and eliminate the effects of the disease, and, in some cases, eradicate the disease itself. Often, the best approach is a combination of strategies integrating prevention and treatment. Because few of these diseases are addressed or well funded, we’ve formed a network of public, private, and nonprofit organizations. We form partnerships with organizations whose projects support the following strategies:
  • Improve diagnostics so that diseases can be detected early.
  • Develop vaccines and drug treatments that are safe, effective, and affordable.
  • Control the source of the disease.
  • Attempt to eliminate or eradicate some diseases entirely.
  • Advocate for public support to address these neglected diseases.
