We are an international non-profit founded in 2005. Our mission is to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive by serving the financially excluded. Our work focuses on helping underbanked women, refugees and communities impacted by forced displacement, climate-vulnerable people, and systemically marginalized communities in the United States.

We connect people through crowdfunded loans to increase financial inclusion. Since 2005, our community has raised over $2 billion in loans, reaching more than 5 million people across 84 countries. Our activities include sourcing, developing, and managing debt investments in high-impact social enterprises, especially in places like Latin America.

We also manage fund operations for impact-first investment funds, such as the California Rebuilding Fund, and support a U.S. program that focuses on loan origination and borrower journeys. We engage a global network of volunteers for tasks like content review and translation, and mobilize an Ambassador Community for outreach and awareness.

Our mission is to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive. We aim to scale our impact by delivering scalable, sustainable financing to social enterprises while upholding our values and policies. Impact, inclusion, and professional growth are key across our programs.

We have a team of over 100 employees and more than 450 volunteers globally. We maintain offices in San Francisco, Nairobi, Bangkok, and Bogotá.

We offer work-from-home positions and foster an inclusive, globally distributed team environment. This provides opportunities to connect with colleagues and partners worldwide. Employees can participate in Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and social activities like happy hours and coffee chats.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, dental, and vision insurance, parental leave, 401k matching, and unlimited PTO (subject to eligibility). Benefits may be subsidized or fully paid where applicable.

Employees have access to professional development opportunities, including skills workshops, and can connect with our network of Fellowship and Internship Alumni. We support a flexible work environment with work-from-home positions available.

Interns and volunteers may receive a stipend of $800 per month (before taxes) and references upon successfully completing their roles. Our Ambassador program provides access to a community, learning opportunities, resources for sharing our mission, and recognition through special events and swag.
