Partner With MTN
We partner with grassroots NGOs, grant-makers, peer organisations, and sector-adjacent networks. Four partnership types. One clear process. No hidden terms.
What We Bring to the Table
36 Years on the Ground
MTN's sister organisation has run field programmes continuously since 1990. Teams on the ground know the communities, the language, and the last mile — the part most partners struggle to reach alone.
Multi-Region Presence
Active programmes across South and Southeast Asia. For partners already working in one of these markets, we extend your reach without you standing up new country offices.
US-Registered Nonprofit
MTN is a US 501(c)(3) — donations from US donors are tax-deductible, and funds can be channelled to programmes across Asia under standard compliance. Cross-border paperwork handled on both sides.
Multi-Sector Capability
Hospital, schools, children's homes, women's livelihood, and rural sanitation — all under one organisation. For partners with a single-sector focus, we can deliver adjacent services without a second MOU.
Documented Outcomes
1.5M+ patients treated · 15,000+ children cared for · 2,500+ women trained · 1,200+ villages served. Every number is backed by records we will share on request.
Four Ways to Work Together
Each comes with a written MOU, a named point of contact, and a clear exit. Pick the one that fits — or tell us how your organisation works and we'll shape a fit.

How Partnerships Come Together
Introduce
Email our partnerships team with a short note about your organisation, the partnership type you're proposing, and the outcome you have in mind. We reply within 10 business days.
Scope
A 30–60 minute scoping call. We share relevant registrations, audits, and references; you do the same. We agree on whether there's a real fit before either side invests further.
MOU
A written memorandum covering scope, roles, funds, data, branding, safeguarding, dispute resolution, and exit. Most MOUs are signed within 4–6 weeks of the scoping call.
Launch
Kick-off with assigned leads on both sides, a shared reporting cadence, and a review date. Every partnership has a named point of contact you can reach directly.
What We Look For
- ✓Legal registration in your country of operation (we'll ask for the certificate)
- ✓At least 2 years of operating history, or a credible founding team with prior track record
- ✓Audited or independently reviewed financials for the past 2 years
- ✓A written child protection / safeguarding policy
- ✓Alignment with our non-discrimination standards
- ✓Willingness to sign a written MOU and meet quarterly reporting expectations
What We Don't Do
- ✕Pass-through arrangements that obscure the end beneficiary
- ✕Exclusivity clauses that restrict your other partnerships
- ✕Off-the-books cash arrangements — all funds flow through audited accounts
- ✕Partnerships without a written, signed MOU
