Hi watson,
Good day and thank you for the question. There are a number of NPOs
that deal with population control and aids awareness worldwide, but
only a handful of them spend more than $5 million a year. Some of them
being :
UNICEF
http://www.unicef.org/

organization is perhaps the most prolific of all. Although exact
figures regarding the amount of money spent on AIDS & Population
Control research is not available, estimates put it at over $100
million a year
The Joint UN Programme on AIDS
http://www.unaids.org/
As the main advocate for global action on HIV/AIDS, UNAIDS leads,
strengthens and supports an expanded response aimed at preventing the
transmission of HIV, providing care and support, reducing the
vulnerability of individuals and communities to HIV/AIDS, and
alleviating the impact of the epidemic. With an annual budget of US$
60 million and a staff of 129 professionals, UNAIDS is a modest-sized
programme with a substantial impact. The UNAIDS Secretariat operates
as a catalyst and coordinator of action on AIDS, rather than as a
direct funding or implementing agency.
