About Astellas Global Health Foundation
Astellas Global Health Foundation concentrates on international public health initiatives—especially in low- and middle-income countries—funding NGOs and academic partnerships that deliver disease control, health-system strengthening, and humanitarian health services. Their grants emphasize neglected tropical disease control and blindness prevention, community resilience and emergency health response, and partnerships with in-country delivery platforms in sub-Saharan Africa and other high-need regions. They favor established global health implementers and university-program partnerships rather than small local projects.

What Astellas Global Health Foundation Funds
In neglected tropical disease control and blindness prevention, the foundation gave $536,700 to Sightsavers Inc for charitable work. That same issue area shows up again through PATH, which received two 2025 grants tied to NTDS/CDS at $536,534 and $536,533. The pattern suggests sustained support for disease control and program scale-up rather than one-off projects. Health-system and service-delivery work is another clear theme. Amref Health Africa received multiple grants of $536,600, including a 2025 award for children’s health and a 2023 charitable award. The foundation also supported Indiana University – AMPATH with $28,492 in 2025 for mental health, alongside a larger $536,700 mental health grant to the same partner. Humanitarian and emergency health work appears through International Medical Corps, which received $345,000 for community resilience, and Plan International USA, which received $345,000 grants for disaster support. USA for UNHCR also appears in the recent grants list, reflecting attention to refugee and displaced populations' health.
