How would you setup a malaria fund of 10 billion, otherwise ?

You give it 10 billion worth of ‘stuff’ (or promise to do so over a number of years)

A charity fund of that size will invest its money, anyways, until it has found a way to spend it (well) on its cause, so you can just as well give it bonds, buildings, or shares.
