Partner With Us
Our regional and global Summits are premier opportunities to gain exposure in the expanding microfinance community. Unlike other events, the Campaign's Summits are generally held outside the United States and give center stage to innovators in the field that run sustainable businesses serving the very poorest clients in the world.
“This is an organization whose healthy heart, coupled with its passionate and wise leadership, is making a universally critical impact and is, thus, critical to support.”
Dr. Steven Funk, Donor and Co-Founder of the Dignity Fund on the Microcredit Summit Campaign
It is an opportunity to reach out to the pioneers and the policymakers seeking to expand and improve their businesses and their government’s role in the sector.
The Summits are a critical part of a long-range strategy to use microfinance as a powerful means to end global poverty. By showcasing innovative programs to a broad group of stakeholders, the Summits accelerate the process of disseminating innovation. Learn all about our past Summits.
Become a Sponsor
The Campaign is currently seeking partners for the 2011 Global Microcredit Summit (GLOMCS) to be held in Valladolid, Spain from 14 to 17 November, 2011. Nearly one in six delegates receives a scholarship to defray the cost of their attendance and your generous support can ensure this valuable exchange of innovative ideas continues to help microfinance practitioners reach the very poorest.
Sponsors come from diverse sectors including finance, information technology, healthcare and non-governmental agencies. Each sponsor organization has a role in transforming the face of poverty for the better. Your organization can capitalize on the largest gathering of its kind in the microfinance field. Opportunities include unparalleled exposure and branding as well as participation at key VIP networking events.

In 2009, the Campaign partnered with Banca de las Oportunidades - an institution committed to transforming microfinance in Colombia. Together we held another successful summit. We invite you to take a look at the complete list of sponsorship benefits offered including a few new unique opportunities.
One of the elements that made this Summit a watershed moment for the field was the inclusion, for the first time ever, of the plenary titled: Breaking the Rules of Microfinance to Better End Poverty: Innovations from Around the World.
The Spanish Agency of International Cooperation for Development (AECID), a 2009 sponsor, purchased a package which included having their logo displayed on the banner in the plenary hall. This was seen by more than 800 delegates at each plenary session.
