Private foundations play an increasingly important and influential role in
global health; however, this role has been poorly monitored and largely
unevaluated, prompting calls for greater accountability. At a minimum
level, clear information should be provided about their grant-making
activities. We describe the global health granting patterns of three
private foundations: the Rockefeller Foundation (RF), the Wellcome Trust
(WT), and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), using data publicly
available on their websites, for the years 2018 – 2020.

The BMGF is the largest private funder of global health; the RF is a
pioneer foundation  that played a dominant role in global health between
the two world wars; and the WT is one of the largest philanthropic funders
of clinical research. For each foundation we describe the amount of money
granted, which organisation types received funding and their locations, the
top-twenty biggest grants and the top-twenty biggest recipients of grant
funding.
