Since 2015, Comic Relief US has been a key partner of The Global Fund through its Red Nose Day campaign. With a mission to create a just world free from poverty Comic Relief US supports key impact areas deeply affecting children and young people, and has helped to fund programs that address some of the world deadliest diseases including HIV, TB and malaria in affected communities across Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
In September 2022 at the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment Conference, Comic Relief US announced a three-year partnership with a US$10 million dollar pledge through donations raised during its annual Red Nose Day campaign. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation also matched this donation, unlocking further significant funding. This pledge makes Comic Relief US one of the largest nongovernmental contributors to the Global Fund and demonstrates its continued commitment to this life-saving work. The two organizations are bound together by a shared commitment to transform the lives of people by responsibly and efficiently investing money to build resilient health systems.
