The GAVI Alliance “praised ‘la Caixa’ Foundation’s leadership and generosity in donating € 4 million (US$5.7 million) to GAVI’s new Matching Fund.” GAVI described the matching programme as ” a major new effort with the private sector to raise US$260 million for immunisation by the end of 2015. Under the programme, the Gates Foundation has pledged US$50 million to match contributions to GAVI from primarily private sector companies, their customers and employees. In addition, pledges to the Matching Fund by UK companies and their customers and employees are being matched by the £ 50 million pledge from the UK Department for International Development (DFID).”  The “la Caixa” pledge – € 2 million in 2011 and € 2 million in 2012 — specifically goes toward the purchase of pneumococcal vaccine for GAVI-supported countries in Latin America.   http://www.gavialliance.org/library/news/press-releases/2011/la-caixa-donation-matching-fund/
