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. 51908 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. 544464 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true true true false false false false 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 false false false false false true 4 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 20 20 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false 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 MICHELLE COOPER Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK KALLA Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RONALD CHRISTENSON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PETER OLSON FORMER CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GARY BALLMAN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK ARENZ 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 STEPHEN FOCHLER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK LUCAS Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT MONTGOMERY Executive Dir. 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AL SULLIVAN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HEIDI THOM Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHERINE WALKER-GRIFFITH Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALEXANDRA SPIELDOCH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 X 69378 0 0 69378 0 false false false 0 298888 458513 757401 PRODUCT SALES 624200 35076 35076 35076 5377 5377 0 0 0 0 117660 18143 99517 99517 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 624200 2499 2499 2499 899870 35076 107393 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 258026 178414 25846 53766 0 0 22215 14972 2436 4807 0 0 0 0 0 0 129565 77088 35458 17019 18931 18931 22387 19348 2313 726 0 0 50462 41737 8725 99733 95041 147 4545 0 7350 3902 397 3051 0 0 10450 10450 3717 3717 PROJECT EXPENSE 46530 46530 PRODUCTION EXPENSES 20321 20321 Postage and Shipping 19928 17879 1240 809 BaNK CHARGES AND FEES 19052 5960 13092 20774 4341 6660 9773 749441 544464 110481 94496 107754 207420 2480 2561 14602 1472 10841 0 0 0 8314 17108 5657 3361 50172 34962 19717 15210 0 0 0 0 114129 122812 259523 393915 94053 60146 20889 37063 23827 3788 131116 108650 X -141884 87213 156163 75240 114128 122812 128407 285265 259523 393915 150429 6429 X false true X true false X 665992 426256 462043 557322 856918 2968531 0 0 665992 426256 462043 557322 856918 2968531 391778 2576753 7380 8024 6412 5538 5377 32731 0 8 27 1733 2499 4267 3005529 0.85730 0.84250 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 114129 8684 122812 110063 4066 114129 115486 -5423 110063 102475 19951 6940 115486 12166 7033 102475 102475 1.00000 true false false 50172 34962 15210 15210 122812 Funds Held for Others 3788 3788 X 1327596 6429 421297 427726 899870 899870 1170738 421297 421297 749441 749441 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
