About Management Sciences for Health
Management Sciences for Health Inc repeatedly funds health-system work through large technical-assistance grants, with several awards above $1 million. In the recent-grants list, Catholic Relief Services received $1,795,426 in 2023 and $1,250,315 in 2024 for WASH infrastructure and technical advice, while Population Services International received $1,245,208 in 2023 and $1,068,830 in 2024 for mobile client outreach services. The pattern points to a funder that backs implementation support, service delivery, and system strengthening rather than direct-to-individual giving. Its grant portfolio also shows sustained support for organizations working on maternal and child health, primary health care, digital tools, and clinical capacity. Jhpiego received multiple awards for design, plan and implement for SBC, and The Population Council Inc received recurring support for technical assistance in MNCH. The foundation’s own summary says it works “shoulder to shoulder with countries and communities” to save lives and improve the health of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people by building strong, resilient, sustainable health systems. Active scholarship programs also reinforce that workforce development and local professional growth are part of the model.
