Their report, published Sunday, didn’t specify exact totals, with royal expert Omid Scobie tweeting the numbers involved, before sharing a link to the report itself. 

In a 24 page report, the philanthropic foundation describes how it:

  • Helped procure 12.6 million COVID vaccines through their partnership with Global Citizen.

Archewell, which is based in Beverly Hills, is a mix of for-profit and not-for-profit business organizations founded in 2020. 

The group includes the Duke and Duchess”s nonprofit charitable foundation, as well as their lucrative for-profit business divisions focusing on media production, Archewell Audio and Archewell Productions.

The report goes into detail on each of the Foundation’s accomplishments after working with partner organizations which specialize in helping one particular segment of society. Exact amounts donated to each partner were not disclosed, but in some cases the Sussexes were able to state the precise number of people their funding had helped.

COVID vaccines 

Archewell invested in The People’s Vaccine alliance, a coalition of 100 organizations, health experts, and heads of state, which has been working to ensure equitable access to vaccines, tests, and treatments across the world. 

They also partnered with Global Citizen and played a significant role in helping to equitably distribute COVID vaccines globally. The alliance chaired the VAX LIVE concert in Central Park, which they claim mobilized hundreds of millions of dollars in funds. 

The VAX LIVE concert alone mobilized 26 million doses, and raised $302 million towards vaccine equity, resulting in a further 60 million COVID vaccines being committed as part of the same campaign. 

The Foundation states that as a result of their advocacy efforts, they were able to secure 12.66 million COVID vaccine doses for distribution around the world. Harry and Meghan touted this figure on a quick overview of Archewell’s main achievements. 

A letter from the co-executive directors of the foundation describes Harry and Megan as 'showing up, taking action ... to uplift and unite communities.'

Afghanistan and Ukraine

When it came to the war torn countries of Afghanistan and Ukraine, the foundation says its partnership with the Human First Coalition received a grant that enabled them to move almost 8,000 people from Afghanistan to safety. 

The grant also helped the coalition provide aid to more than 10,000 individuals in Afghanistan and Pakistan and provide living expenses for 1,000 Afghans in safe houses in both countries.

The grant helped Team Rubicon assist 4,000 refugees in moving in, setting up their homes, the Sussexes explained. The donation also directly helped 853 families move into new homes.

In Ukraine, a grant provided critical funding to the HIAS Jewish charity, which expanded their humanitarian efforts across Ukraine, Poland, Moldova, and Romania following the outbreak of war in the country.

The funding helped to increase housing, food, and transport assistance and provided legal assistance for an unspecified number of refugees.

The grant also helped train men and women to remove landmines and avoid being injured by explosives. It funded 373 sessions with the Halo Trust, helping an estimated 10,000 people learn how to avoid being injured by discarded explosives.

The group are said to have supported research that examines the financial impact of COVID on women, both at work and as caregivers, as well as the gender pay gap.
