All funds go directly towards the Nothing but Nets Foundation, a completely not-for-profit campaign created by the UN foundation that provides long-term, insecticide-treated bednets for hospitals in countries throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The use of bednets has caused a significant drop in the number of deaths due to Malaria by preventing the disease vector - the mosquito, from biting and infecting the victim.
