The Microcredit Summit Campaign is a small, international development organization focused on expanding financial inclusion and microfinance access. Based in Washington, DC, the group organizes high-profile conferences and engages with regulators, practitioners, NGOs, and private sector partners to advance frontier innovations in financial inclusion, with a particular emphasis on reaching vulnerable and marginalized populations. Its activities include coordinating events such as its annual Microcredit Summit and supporting related initiatives like the 100 Million Project, Financing Healthier Lives, and the Truelift platform, as well as producing campaign reports. Founded in the late 1990s and rooted in a long-term campaign to extend microfinance services to millions of the world’s poorest families, the organization positions itself within the international trade and development sector. It operates with a small team and collaborates with a diverse array of partners, including government entities, financial practitioners, NGOs, and social enterprises, to promote inclusive, sustainable economic growth through improved access to credit and financial services.
