Partner review
Every partner goes through a structured review before AMA commits to working with them.
Our Work · Areas of Focus
Bridging the globalhealth access gap.
Alliance for Medical Access is a fiscal sponsor and consortium. It assesses local organizations working on healthcare access, helps them structure fundable projects, and channels institutional funding to them — across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
The AMA model
How AMA works
AMA is not an implementing organization. It exists to make locally-led healthcare work fundable, and to hold the administrative burden that keeps capable local organizations out of institutional funding.
Project structuring
Field-level needs are translated into project designs that satisfy the reporting, compliance and budgeting standards institutional funders expect.
Funding mobilization
AMA then takes those projects to institutional and individual funders, standing in as the applicant of record when the local partner is not eligible to apply directly.
Accountability
Disbursements follow a milestone schedule, with the partner organization providing supporting documentation before each release.
Governance
Governance & Fiduciary Responsibility
Alliance for Medical Access is a 501(c)(3) organization governed by United States nonprofit law. Its model is built so that the funding it channels is managed with documented fiduciary responsibility and full transparency.
Not a Direct Care Provider
AMA is a grantmaking and fiscal sponsorship organization — not a hospital, clinic, healthcare provider, or medical practice. It does not employ clinicians, deliver patient care, or bill patients or insurers.
U.S. Nonprofit Governance
As a U.S. 501(c)(3), AMA operates under the accounting and reporting obligations federal nonprofit law imposes — the same standard institutional funders expect to see.
Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency
AMA holds the Candid Platinum Seal — the highest tier of voluntary transparency awarded to U.S. nonprofits. All financial and programmatic disclosures are publicly accessible.
Funding Governance
AMA’s governance is designed to diversify funding sources as the consortium grows, to protect its independence and long-term resilience.
Independent Evaluation
AMA is committed to independent, third-party evaluation of the programs it funds, and to publishing results once projects are delivered and assessed.
