DescriptionIn FY 2010, EMpower made 28 grants totaling $880,500 to 24 organizations in 13 countries. All of these grants are to improve opportunities for at-risk youth aged 10-24 in emerging market countries.EMpower's first online publication was produced: It's Her Business: A Handbook for Preparing Young, At-risk Women to Become Entrepreneurs is available for download in English and Spanish (Manos a la obra, amigas: Fomentando emprendimientos entre jovenes marginadas!), www.itsherbusiness.org, also linked to EMpower's website. The handbook was designed to help developing country organizations working with young, at-risk women boost their opportunities to earn income. It helps them determine whether to offer entrepreneurship programming and, if so, the fundamentals to do it well, taking into account the special needs of young women living in poverty. The handbook is a product of EMpower's Girls Entrepreneurship Trust, supported by the Nike Foundation. It was developed out of two regional workshops EMpower held with grantee partners working on income generation, and from substantial contributions from other experts and EMpower staff.EMpower initiated work on a global workshop held in Rio, Brazil in July 2010 called: Leveling the Playing Field. Gathering 22 participants from 11 grantee organizations around the world, EMpower convened organizations using sports as a means to convene young people, especially girls and young women. The workshop united experts as well as practitioners to discuss best practices and effective strategies for youth development.Description

Procedure for Monitoring Grants Outside the U.S.:Schedule F, Part I, Line 2: Prior to issuing a grant we undergo extensive due diligence to ensure accountability of funds were we to initiate a partnership. This is through on-site visits or off-shore meetings with management. Post grant, we require a mid-term report and a final report. If the organization had not been visited prior to the grant, the responsible Program Officer will visit during the one year period of the initial grant. We also rely on the information of an extensive network of international funders or local national private foundations that have a relationship with the same grantee.
Method Used to Acccount for Expenditures:Schedule F, Part I, Line 3: EXPENDITURES IN FOREIGN REGIONS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE ACCRUAL BASIS OF ACCOUNTING.

Form 990, Part III, line 2New Program ServicesEMpower was funded by the Nike Foundation to develop a program that would produce a roadmap for adolescent girls to become entrepreneurs. During the first of this two-year initiative we organized two regional workshops involving practitioners of entrepreneurship programs and young women participants: one in Peru for Latin American grantee partners, and the other, in India for our African and Asian partners. Through these workshops, we disseminated vital information for training young women as entrepreneurs as well as gathered lessons on what has worked best and what is needed in their environments. The second year of this initiative, completed during this reporting period, saw the drafting and dissemination of our first publication: A "tool kit", chock full of tools, tips, resources and lessons learned to help local organizations working with young women in developing countries guide them in considering income generation options, launching a business, and achieving financial independence. It is a downloadable handbook entitled "It's Her Business: A handbook for preparing young, at-risk women to be entrepreneurs" and can be found at www.itsherbusiness.org.
