The International Vaccine Institute is on a mission to protect the world’s most vulnerable people from infectious diseases through groundbreaking vaccine discovery, development, and delivery. In a world where millions still suffer from preventable illnesses, IVI is working on safe, effective, and affordable vaccines for diseases like cholera, typhoid, and chikungunya.

This vital work depends on support. By donating to IVI, a not-for-profit international organization, you help accelerate scientific research and development of life-saving vaccines to those who need them most, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Every donation has the power to save lives, strengthen communities, and support a healthier future for all.

Our impact

IVI’s portfolio uniquely spans all stages of vaccine development, focusing on infectious diseases that disproportionately impact low- and middle-income countries, including cholera, typhoid, chikungunya, schistosomiasis, hepatitis E, HPV, and COVID-19.

We pioneered the world’s first low-cost oral cholera vaccine, prequalified by the World Health Organization (WHO), and achieved WHO prequalification for a next-generation typhoid conjugate vaccine. Learn more.

What your support means

Vaccine research and development can be expensive, costing millions of dollars and taking up to 20 years before the successful technology is brought to market. As a not-for-profit organization, IVI relies on grants and donations for its research and operations.

A donation to IVI helps us:

  • Fund our research to discover, develop, and deliver new vaccines against neglected and emerging infectious diseases.
  • Advance projects to introduce vaccines into communities where they are needed most.
  • Facilitate training and technical assistance for low- and middle-income country partners to build vaccine capacity, self-sufficiency, and sustainability.

IVI is listed as a multilateral institution under the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Development Assistance Committee. Contributions may be reported as Official Development Assistance either in whole or in part.
