The Microcredit Summit Campaign
Summits and Conferences

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.
