Support Grameen America Today, Create A Better America Tomorrow

Grameen America | Microfinance and Muhammad Yunus

We invite you to show your support for a better tomorrow by making donations to our featured charity, Grameen America. We have launched a mobile giving platform that provides you the opportunity to donate to Grameen America by using your mobile phones. By sending a text message that says “i4c” to 85944, you are helping women rise out of poverty through microfinance.

Grameen America is a microfinance nonprofit organization that prvovides affordable microloans to financially empower low-income entrepreneurs in the United States. Muhammad Yunus, Grameen Bank’s founder and chairman, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for enabling the poor to climb out of poverty. Previously excluded from entrepreneurial opportunities, poor entrepreneurs with no collateral or credit history are now able to access capital to grow their business and increase their quality of living. Grameen America has provided more than $6 million in loans to 2,800 borrowers—all women—living in poverty. To date, borrowers have deposited savings of more than $350,000. Meet the entrepreneurs at www.grameenamerica.com

The [i4c] Campaign will support Grameen America though mobile giving at the Lilith Fair this summer. For more information on the Lilith 2010 Tour partnership see the Lilith Website.

Thank you in advance for your support of The [i4c] Campaign and Grameen America.
