An example of projects undertaken includes the continuation of a 4 year collaborative project to enhance child nutrition and livelihoods of rural households in Malawi and Tanzania through improvements in post-harvest peanut processing. The groundnut technology is 9 x faster per individual than traditional methods. In Senegal, CTI sent 35 Winnower-Thresher-Stripper-Grinder suites to Senegal to begin a program on pearl millet processing in West Africa. The technology is two times faster than traditional methods. It improves the quality of the grain and reduces grain loss. It also reduces womens drudgery. CTI also engaged in human centered design research to evaluate the potential for sorghum processing technology. CTI manufactured and sold its grinders to partners working in 16 countries. CTI's Water Chlorinator program reached over 245, 000 people in 2013/2014. 214980 Technology Development - Activities relate to the design, modification, application and evaluation of devices, techniques and processes that help fight hunger and poverty. Training activities are also included in this category. CTI conducted more field testing and optimization of its stripper, thresher and winnower for the grain processing units in Senegal. CTI has also researched the potential for a sorghum drum stripper and thresher that is in prototype model for West Africa and Southern Africa. CTI has continued its research of groundnuts, optimizing its sheller and winnower for future testing among farmers. 513232 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true false true false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 6 0 true 7 true false false true OC false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 18 17 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false MN X X ALEXANDRA SPIELDOCH 6516323912 800 TRANSFER RD SUITE 6 ST PAUL MN 55114 X PAUL HEALEY CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CATHIE HARTNETT CO-VICE CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ADAM RIX CO-VICE CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CARL SCHROEDER CO-VICE CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PATRICK ARENZ Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK KALLA Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RONALD CHRISTENSON Former Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PETER OLSON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GARY BALLMAN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JARED BREWINGTON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN CORNELL WILKES Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DOUG DUNLAY Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAN FASOLD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK LUCAS Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN FOCHLER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT MONTGOMERY Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HEIDI THOM Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AL SULLIVAN Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ALEXANDRA SPIELDOCH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 X 77984 0 0 77984 0 false false false 0 13250 147239 458929 619418 PRODUCT SALES 624200 50318 50318 50318 4845 4845 0 0 0 0 114910 13250 24953 89957 89957 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 624200 3155 3155 3155 767693 50318 97957 X 0 0 0 0 77984 53422 6876 17686 0 217480 152171 18284 47025 0 0 31208 21425 2700 7083 0 2010 2010 39514 39514 0 0 0 120054 95519 7962 16573 2681 2072 609 10963 8702 2239 22 0 0 55792 46087 9705 28656 23288 874 4494 0 28066 24139 1788 2139 0 0 10567 10567 11669 11669 PRODUCTION EXPENSES 45689 45689 PROJECT EXPENSE 32299 32299 Printing and Publications 15419 3259 12160 OTHER EXPENSE 11279 11277 2 15771 6409 8529 833 757101 513232 135852 108017 207420 97678 2561 6494 14602 16700 10841 79018 0 0 0 17108 12022 3361 3264 53637 45529 15210 8108 0 0 0 0 122812 116457 393915 339741 60146 43470 20889 3998 23827 3317 3788 108650 50785 X 87213 139211 75240 33388 122812 116357 285265 288956 393915 339741 10592 -6901 X false true X true false X 426256 462043 557322 856918 710757 3013296 0 0 426256 462043 557322 856918 710757 3013296 156946 2856350 8024 6412 5538 5377 4845 30196 0 8 27 1733 2499 3155 7422 3050914 0.93620 0.85730 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 122812 -6455 116357 114129 8684 122812 110063 4066 114129 115486 -5423 110063 102475 19951 6940 115486 1.00000 true false false 53637 45529 8108 8108 INVESTMENT IN CTI, INC. 100 116457 X 1215919 -6901 455127 448226 767693 767693 1212228 455127 455127 757101 757101 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
