All Money Up-front

All money is appropriated up front by the US congress with no incremental or partial funding.

Paid by the U.S. Treasury This mitigates most of the risks associated with working in Emerging or Poor economies and

guarantees that invoices are paid as quickly as possible.

MCC Checks Guarantee Companies a Fair Shake The MCC model has checks and oversight at every step of the procurement process to make sure

that companies are getting a fair shake

Enforced International Environmental and Labor Standards MCC works carefully to ensure that no MCC funded companies abuse the environment or engage in

unfair/unsafe labor practices.

The Business of Doing Good business partners break through the on-going barriers to poverty in some of the poorest countries in

the world.
