INVESTING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE
For 40 years, Working Capital for Community Needs (WCCN) has created opportunities for access to microfinance and services to support low-income entrepreneurs in Latin America. As one of the first social impact funds in the United States, we have invested more than $160 million, reaching an average of 22,000 borrowers each year.
​
WCCN supports individuals, families, and communities by sustaining partnerships with microfinance organizations and agricultural cooperatives in Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia and Peru.

As an investor or donor of WCCN, you can personally make this life changing work happen.

Central to WCCN's initiatives is the belief that women have the right to determine their financial futures, obtain an education, own land, have access to adequate healthcare, and never face the threat of violence. Historically, more than two-thirds of our partner agencies' clients have been women.
WCCN lends to partners who work with female business owners, rural populations, and indigenous communities that have been historically excluded from the financial system. WCCN also provides financing to organizations that provide technical assistance to micro-finance borrowers and cooperative members.
When you give to WCCN, you join a movement of people who are using their resources to promote social change.
