Building healthcare access together
Alliance for Medical Access designs, finances, and conducts healthcare access programs across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. This work rests on two kinds of partnerships: the local organizations that deliver care on the ground, and the funders, institutions, and companies that make that work possible. This page explains what each brings, and what each receives.
What a partnership with AMA gives you
- 1Access to international funding through a recognized U.S. 501(c)(3) structure.
- 2Support structuring your project, turning a field-level need into a fundable proposal that meets institutional standards.
- 3Strengthened governance and financial controls — gains that stay with you well beyond the project.
- 4Your proposal presented to funders under a structure whose transparency is already publicly verified: the Candid Platinum Seal and 501(c)(3) status.
- 5Access to the AMA network: partner organizations across several countries facing the same obstacles you do.
Our support aims at your independence. Every partnership is designed to make you capable, over time, of accessing institutional funding directly.
Fund the field without giving up traceability
- 1A compliant U.S. vehicle, able to receive and disburse institutional funds in complex environments.
- 2Already-assessed partners, reviewed on governance, financial controls, community roots, and documented results.
- 3Disbursements released in tranches against milestones, each payment documented before the next.
- 4Reporting to funder standards, with a commitment to independent external evaluation.
Every dollar entrusted to AMA is traced from its source to the field, and AMA remains accountable for it at every step.
