The Impact of Microfinance Loans

Microloans are making a difference for small business entrepreneurs throughout the developing world. Less well known is their impact on the lives of local entrepreneurs right here in Massachusetts.

Watch the CNBC interview; read The Boston Globe op-ed.  Then join us to hear how ACCION USA is providing microcredit and other financial services to a growing number of the nearly 30 million people in the U.S. who lack access to credit and basic financial services. 

The program will feature a case study of ACCION USA’s Partnership with Boston Beer Works. ‘Samuel Adams: Brewing the American Dream,’ is an initiative by The Boston Beer Company with ACCION USA that assists New England entrepreneurs working in the food and beverage industry with microfinance loans as well as business consulting services.
