The initial activities of IC Health have been sponsored primarily by the Global Forum for Health Research with funds provided by the World Bank. Additional funds for core activities have been provided by the US Institute of Medicine, The George Institute for International Health (Australia), the World Heart Federation and the World Health Organization. Project funds for several studies have been raised from a variety of public and private sponsors. IC Health is seeking further sponsorship from other interested agencies and foundations for the support of the programs and projects described above. Support for the work of IC Health can be provided in two ways:

Sponsorship will be acknowledged in all project materials, publications and presentations. Additionally, major sponsors may be invited to appoint a representative to the Board of IC Health. IC Health hopes to raise USD 20 million during the period 2004-2006 for allocation over 5 years from 2004-2008. Almost 90% of the total funds sought will be dispersed for program and project funding and the remainder will support central management, coordination and fund raising for the Initiative.
