OVERVIEW
About Against Malaria Foundation Canada:
Against Malaria Foundation Canada is a 4-star charity. It has High demonstrated impact and a world-class results reporting grade of A+, but is not financially transparent. The charity's financial statements do not disclose any administrative or fundraising costs. For every dollar donated to the charity, the charity reports that 100 cents are available to go to the cause, which is outside Ci's reasonable range.
Founded in 2006, Against Malaria Foundation Canada is a fundraising branch of Against Malaria Foundation (AMF), based in the United Kingdom. It is one of 11 sister foundations around the world. In F2023, Against Malaria Foundation Canada raised $2.4m CAD, and transferred it to AMF, which received $68.5m CAD, and therefore contributed 4% of AMF’s overall donations. This summary of AMF’s activities is based on AMF’s global reporting.
AMF reports that Malaria kills 400,000 people and infects more than 200 million people every year. AMF purchases and organizes the distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs). AMF reports that it uses 100% of public donations to purchase LLINs. It does not distribute the nets itself, but rather makes legal distribution agreements with local partners to distribute the nets. Its operating costs are covered by funds designated by private donors.
A Charity Intelligence 2023 Top Impact Charity
LLINs are treated with insecticides, which makes nets 99% effective even with holes or tears. Each net costs $2.70 CAD. A single net lasts three to four years and protects two people. Its evidence based work is advised by the malaria advisory group.
Ci counted that it distributed 43,956,262 LLINs in 2023.
Against Malaria Foundation aims to assess program effectiveness by visiting randomly selected households every six months after receiving nets. It collects data on how many households still have nets, how many nets are still hung up, and the condition of each net. AMF also assesses the impact of nets using monthly data on local malaria infection rates.

Results and Impact
AMF reports that every $1 million spent fighting malaria improves the GDP of Africa by $12m. It reports that for every 600 nets in use, one child doesn’t die and 500 to 1,000 cases of malaria are prevented.
AMF reported in its F2023 annual report that its post-distribution monitoring activities showed that one day after distribution, 95% of bed nets were being used to cover sleeping spaces. After 12 months, this number had fallen to 80-90%. After 24, 80-70% of bed nets were still in use to cover sleeping spaces.
Up until 2018, AMF also posted the results of post-program completion surveys on its website. For example, it reports that 24 months after a 2018 distribution in Papua New Guinea found that most households wee using LLINs. Most nets that became worn out were either due to damage from being hung up near a fireplace or from pests.
While Ci highlights these key results, they may not be a complete representation of Against Malaria Foundation's results and impact.
Charity Intelligence has rated Against Malaria Foundation as High impact based on demonstrated impact per dollar.

Finances
Against Malaria Foundation Canada received $2.4m in donations in F2023. AMFC does not report any administrative or fundraising costs. For every dollar donated, the charity reports that 100 cents go to the cause. This is not within Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending.
This lack of overhead costs results from the charity granting all its revenue to Against Malaria Foundation (global chapter based in the UK), without allocating any costs to raising this revenue. Against Malaria Foundation Canada has $722 in reserve funds, which covers 0% of its annual program costs.
Against Malaria Foundation global has $159.6m USD in reserve funds, and spent $51.8m USD on charitable programs in F2023. This means it can cover its program spending at current levels for 3.1 years. In F2022, this ratio was 2.7. AMF global does not have an urgent need for funding.
Charity Intelligence has sent this update to Against Malaria Foundation Canada for review. Changes and edits may be forthcoming.
Against Malaria Foundation Global saw its revenues decrease from $120,747,395 USD to $55,821,303 USD in F2023. This was due to three large grants of $69.2m USD in F2022 that were not repeated in F2023. AMF Global reports that about half of its revenues can be liked to the Effective Altruism movement.
