Support ACCION: Turn Dollars into Dreams Today
An ancient philosopher wisely said: "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." (Kwan-Tzu). Based on this philosophy, ACCION:
- Teaches individuals to fish: Our financial literacy programs provide the knowledge base needed to run an income-generating business.
- Finances their first fishing pole: Microloans for as little as $500 provide capital to get a business off the ground or continue to grow.
- Helps them find the best place to stand: One-on-one credit and business counseling post-loan ensure the long-term success of the business owner.
A donation to ACCION is an investment in both the life of a hard-working business owner and the vitality of the metropolitan region. Your donation will:
- Enable entrepreneurs to succeed through providing them access to credit and financial resources;
- Help maintain and create jobs in New York City and New Jersey: In 2007, our borrowers maintained or created over 2,600 jobs in predominately low-income communities; and
- Support local small businesses that account for much of the small business and workforce growth over the past decade.
A donation to ACCION is a direct, sound investment in local communities. Our four-star Charity Navigator rating means that your donation will be directly applied toward maintaining our core microloan and financial literacy programs.
Turn your dollars into dreams come true for a local entrepreneur.
