Twilio is a cloud communications platform that aims to democratise communications channels like voice, text, chat, video and email by virtualising the world’s communications infrastructure through APIs that are simple enough for any developer to use, yet robust enough to power the world’s most demanding applications.

Twilio.org is the social impact arm of Twilio, which supports non-profits with credits and discounts, volunteer developer support, and grants and investments. Twilio is committed to supporting the equitable roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine. To ensure vaccines are able to make it to those that need it the most, Twilio has recognised that “effective communication and coordination play a critical role in the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, especially while demand outstrips global supply,” according to Erin Reilly, Chief Social Impact Officer at Twilio. More than 450 federal, state and local governments, health services, educational institutions, NGOs and non-profits have relied on Twilio for COVID-19 communication with usage of Twilio being seen in more than 180 countries, representing 97% of the global population for COVID-19 response initiatives.

In 2021 Twilio contributed US$ 10 million to the Gavi COVAX AMC to support Gavi’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, Twilio also made a Digital Innovation Grant to Gavi INFUSE PaceSetter, ZMQ to support the digitisation of their ground-breaking community-driven approach to improving vaccine confidence across India.

Proceeds to Gavi from donor contributions & pledges (2021-2025) as of 30 June 2023

Proceeds are funds made available to Gavi from donor contributions and commitments, either through cash payments made to Gavi, through frontloading via the capital markets of a future donor commitment to IFFIm, or through AMC funds released to Gavi via the World Bank. IFFIm proceeds are allocated over five-year periods coinciding with Gavi’s strategic periods. Proceeds for the current and future strategic periods are indicative until the end of each period and could be revised following changes in market conditions (interest rates or foreign exchange rates), the signing of new pledge(s) and/or changes in IFFIm’s disbursement profile.

Received contributions: non-US$ contributions for 2000–2022 and Q1-Q2 2023 are expressed in US$ equivalents using the exchange rates on the dates of receipt. For 2014–2022 and Q1-Q2 2023 where contributions were hedged to mitigate currency risk exposure, these have been expressed using the rates applicable to the hedge agreement.

Future contributions (for pledges made prior to the June 2020 donor pledging conference): non-US$ Direct Contribution and Matching Fund pledges for Q3-Q4 2023 and for years 2024 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents using the applicable forecast rates from Bloomberg as at 30 June 2023 or using the rates applicable to any hedge agreement in place.

Future contributions (for pledges at the June 2020 donor pledging conference): non-US$ Direct Contribution and Matching Fund pledges for Q3-Q4 2023 and for years 2024 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents using the spot rates from Refinitiv as at 30 June 2023 or using the rates applicable to any hedge agreement in place.

Future contributions: non-US$ Direct Contribution and Matching Fund pledges for Q3-Q4 2023 and for years 2024 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents using the applicable forecast rates from Bloomberg as at 30 June 2023 or using the rates applicable to any hedge agreement in place.

  • For contribution agreements not yet signed: contributions are expressed in US$ equivalents using the applicable spot rates from Refinitiv as at 30 June 2023

Due to IFFIm’s nature as a frontloading vehicle, yearly contributions paid into IFFIm can differ significantly from yearly proceeds transferred to Gavi.

While IFFIm grants are irrevocable and legally binding, they are subject to a Grant Payment Condition that can potentially reduce the amount due by the donor in the event that a Gavi-supported programme country is in protracted arrears with the International Monetary Fund. Since 29 June 2021, there is no longer any reduction applied, as all countries from the reference portfolio have cleared their arrears with the IMF.
