2009 grant application

AMURT applied for funding through our grant application process for organizations working on economic empowerment in Sub-Saharan Africa. AMURT did not advance past our Round 1 screen. For more information about this grant, see our overview page for this grant.

We looked for the following in conducting our Round 1 screen and considered further any organization that met at least one of the criteria below:

1. The charity primarily transfers cash directly to poor individuals
2. The charity provided a rigorous impact study demonstrating program effect
3. The charity is using donations to create profitable programs
4. The charity primarily runs microfinance programs and can answer our questions for microfinance charities

For more information about why we chose these, see our reasoning behind these criteria.

The materials submitted by AMURT did not meet any of the above criteria.
