Yes! I want to support microfinance and empower people to work their way out of poverty.

ACCION's goal is to bring the full range of financial services – including "micro" loans – to ever increasing numbers of people to have an impact on world poverty. Over time, ACCION has helped build 62 microfinance institutions in 31 countries on four continents. Those institutions are currently reaching 4.9 million clients. Since the inception of its pilot program in 1991, the U.S. ACCION Network has loaned nearly $277 million to over 24,000 clients and currently serves more than 5,100 active borrowers in 46 states. The U.S. ACCION Network is the largest microfinance network in the country.
