Go Give One This Giving Season
Introduction
Less than 8% of people in low-income countries have been vaccinated compared to more than 60% in high-income countries. That means 1 in every 13 people in a low-income country has received their first vaccine compared to 1 in every 2 people in high-income countries which continue to stockpile more vaccines while others continue to wait.[1] With the risk of mutations and a ripple effect on the global economy, vaccine inequity and rising COVID-19 rates impact us all.
Join us in helping to raise funds for Gavi COVAX AMC and invite your employees and external partners to take part in the challenge by donating and sharing with their own friends and family.
To engage your employees and external partners, please feel free to utilize the attached updated Go Give One Donation Giving Season Communications Toolkit . In this toolkit, you will find everything you need to promote the challenge to your employees and external partners including details on the campaign rollout, sample social media assets, and more.
By donating $5 to Go Give One, you can fund one COVID-19 vaccine for someone most in need and help end the pandemic. We’re all on the same team in the fight to end the COVID-19 pandemic. What gift could be better?

Social Media Tips
Background
What is the Go Give One campaign?
Go Give One is a COVID-19 fundraising campaign with no borders. The campaign calls on everyone, everywhere to play their part in helping to vaccinate the world. Created by the WHO Foundation, the money raised goes to an international financing mechanism called COVAX Advanced Market Commitment (AMC), which funds COVID-19 vaccines for lower-income countries, helping protect those who need vaccines the most.
Why has the campaign been launched?
This campaign was launched in response to the growing global vaccine equity gap and many people asking what they can do to help. With a small number of countries rolling out the majority of doses, many countries are being left behind and unable to vaccinate their populations. As the quickest route to recovery, people-powered vaccines can pave the way for everyone, everywhere to be vaccinated.
What can the public do?
Every $5 donated purchases one vaccine. Our aim is to get people around the world to take part in this campaign with the money raised going to the Gavi COVAX AMC, which funds COVID-19 vaccines for lower-income countries, helping protect those who need vaccines the most.
