My Nonprofit Reviews

"The ultimate goal of any charity should be to shut down - the sooner the better." Wait, what? I was speaking with Rob Mather, the founder of AMF, over Skype, and that was not what I expected to hear. "Of course," he confirmed. "That would mean that they problem they were addressing has been solved." I was amazed to have found a charity that did not have the mindset of a sprawling big business. Rob approaches charity operation with such a critical eye, it is no wonder that AMF has become known for its cost-efficiency, transparency, and rigorous self-assessment. And in fact, the accomplishments of AMF speak for themselves: after distributing a quarter of a million nets in Malawi to protect over half a million people, the malaria rates in the region decreased by 40-50%. As a co-founder of the Swiss chapter of Giving What We Can, I am very happy to have a charity to regularly donate to that I can be certain is making a real impact in the developing world.
