Our Services · Fiscal Sponsorship

Access international fundingwithout your own U.S. structure.

Fiscal sponsorship lets an organization or a project access institutional grants through an already-established U.S. structure, without having to build one of its own. For a local health team, this is often the difference between a fundable project and one that never gets off the ground.

AMA offers this service to its partners, alongside its other modes of intervention: training, institutional support, project financing, and the direct implementation of field operations.

Why AMA

Why partner
with AMA?

Institutional funding comes with strict administrative and compliance requirements. AMA provides the U.S. nonprofit structure and fiduciary framework that meets them, so sponsored projects can focus on their work.

Grant Support

Support with grant applications, proposal structuring, and donor reporting — so your team can focus on delivery.

AMA carries fiduciary responsibility for the funds it receives and disburses on your behalf.

Sponsorship Services

Our Sponsorship Guarantees

The Fine Print

Cost & Duration

Cost of the Service

AMA charges 10% of administered funds to cover management costs.

Duration of Sponsorship

Fiscal sponsorship is a transitional arrangement. It ends once a project has its own structure and the capacity to manage its funding directly — AMA supports that transition rather than prolonging it.
