The COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund was started by the UN Foundation and Swiss Philanthropy Foundation at the request of WHO. It is the only way for individuals and organizations to directly contribute to WHO’s global effort to defeat COVID-19.

Donations support WHO’s work, including with partners, to track and understand the spread of the virus; to ensure patients get the care they need, and frontline workers get essential supplies and information; and to accelerate research and development of a vaccine and treatments for all who need them.

Excluding event production costs, fees and expenses, all funds raised by the “Solidarity Challenge” by ORSEN will be donated to the UN Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO. ORSEN have no interest in, or rights to, any part of the donation amount.
