Media Support for the Global Fund Nationwide

Throughout 2016, RESULTS volunteers have worked with media all across the United States to build support for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. When world leaders came together in September, they committed the resources to put the Global Fund on track to fund its plan to help save 8 million more lives and prevent 300 million new infections by 2020. Answering the call of advocates across the country, the U.S. government made a matching pledge of up to $4.3 billion, committing to invest $1 for every $2 from other donors.
