How does AGI select projects?
AGI has long-standing relationships with a number of large, globally respected aid agencies. Every year they are invited to send a detailed project proposal for the coming year. Also proposals are received from many other agencies each year. All agencies must submit proof of their non-profit status, financial documents, a proposed project, and evidence of effectiveness and sustainability. Every year AGI receives proposals for far more projects than it can include in its Shopping List for the World Catalog. When selecting projects for the catalog, AGI uses several criteria, including geographical region, urgent need, and whether it will appeal to donors.
