Against Malaria Foundation is a UK-based global charity that funds and distributes long-lasting insecticidal bed nets to protect people in high-risk regions from malaria.
Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) is a UK-based global health charity that funds and distributes long-lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLINs) to protect people in high-risk regions from malaria. Working with governments, health ministries, and local distribution partners, AMF focuses on large-scale, carefully monitored net distribution campaigns in countries where malaria is a leading cause of illness and death, particularly among young children and pregnant women. The charity is widely recognized for its transparency and cost-effectiveness, and is frequently recommended by independent charity evaluators for its strong evidence of impact.
A charge from Against Malaria Foundation on your bank or card statement usually indicates that you made a donation—either a one-time gift or a recurring monthly/annual contribution—to support the purchase and distribution of bed nets. You might see this charge after donating directly on againstmalaria.com, contributing via a fundraising page, sponsoring a specific net distribution, or setting up a recurring donation. In some cases, the charge may be processed in GBP (British pounds) or another major currency, and you may also see small test/verification charges or currency conversion differences depending on your bank and card issuer.
If you don’t immediately recognize the charge, first check your email for a donation receipt from Against Malaria Foundation or from a fundraising platform referencing AMF. Review recent online donations, fundraising events, workplace giving programs, or sponsored activities you or a family member may have participated in. To resolve questions, you can contact AMF through the contact form at againstmalaria.com or by emailing their support team with your name, the date, amount of the charge, and the last four digits of the card used; they can confirm the donation, resend receipts, adjust or cancel recurring donations, and review any duplicate or incorrect charges. For any suspected unauthorized activity, also contact your bank or card issuer promptly to secure your account.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to Against Malaria Foundation.
Why did I receive a charge from Against Malaria Foundation on my card or bank statement?
This charge is typically the result of a donation you made to support the distribution of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets through Against Malaria Foundation. It may come from a one-off donation on againstmalaria.com, a recurring monthly or annual pledge, or a contribution via a personal or team fundraising page. If someone else used your card with permission (for example, a family member donating through a shared card), the donation will still appear under the charity’s name.
How much does Against Malaria Foundation usually charge for donations, and are there common amounts?
AMF allows donors to choose almost any amount, but many people give in increments aligned with the approximate cost of a net (around US$2–3 per net, depending on country and logistics). Common donation sizes include small monthly amounts (e.g., US$5–$50) or one-time gifts of US$25, US$50, US$100, or higher. Larger donors or organizations may see high-value charges corresponding to bulk net funding for specific distribution campaigns.
Why do I see a recurring monthly or annual charge from Against Malaria Foundation?
If you see regular charges (for example, every month on the same date), it likely means you set up a recurring donation through AMF’s website or a fundraising platform that supports them. These donations continue automatically until you change or cancel them. You can adjust the amount or frequency, or cancel entirely, by following the link in your original donation confirmation email or by contacting AMF with your donation details.
How do I cancel or change my recurring donation to Against Malaria Foundation?
To cancel or modify a recurring donation, start by locating your original confirmation email, which often includes a link to manage your donation or subscription settings. If you no longer have that email, go to againstmalaria.com and use the contact form or email their support team, providing your full name, email used for the donation, approximate amount, and how often you’re being charged. They can then locate your record, stop future donations, or update the amount and frequency.
How can I request a refund or correct a duplicate charge from Against Malaria Foundation?
If you believe you were charged in error or see duplicate donations, contact AMF directly as soon as possible through their website contact form or by email. Include your name, the date and amount of the charge(s), card type, and any transaction or reference numbers from your receipt or bank statement. While policies can vary by jurisdiction and payment provider, AMF will typically review mistaken or duplicate donations and can arrange a refund or correction when appropriate.
Why is the Against Malaria Foundation charge in a foreign currency or a slightly different amount than I expected?
Because AMF is based in the UK, some donations are processed in British pounds (GBP) or another main currency, which your bank then converts to your local currency. This can lead to slight differences from what you expected due to exchange rates and any foreign transaction fees your bank charges. If the variation is small and aligns with current exchange rates, it’s usually normal; for large discrepancies, you can contact both your bank and AMF for clarification.
Is my donation to Against Malaria Foundation tax-deductible, and how do I get a receipt?
AMF partners with entities in several countries to make donations tax-deductible where possible (for example, in the UK, US, and some other jurisdictions). After donating, you should receive an email receipt that you can use for tax purposes, showing the date and amount of the donation. If you cannot find your receipt, contact AMF with your details, and they can resend or consolidate receipts for your donations.
What should I do if I don’t recognize this Against Malaria Foundation charge at all?
First check with family members or anyone else who might have access to your card to see whether they made a donation. Then search your email (including spam folders) for terms like “Against Malaria Foundation,” “againstmalaria.com,” or “donation receipt.” If you still cannot identify the charge, contact AMF with the transaction details from your statement; if they cannot locate a corresponding donation, inform your bank or card issuer so they can investigate potential unauthorized use.
