Mission
ACCION USA provides microloans and other financial services to low- and moderate-income entrepreneurs who are unable to access bank credit for their small businesses. With economic opportunity, these entrepreneurs- often minorities and women- can build assets, better provide for their families, and strengthen their communities. ACCION USA's parent organization, ACCION International, began its work in economic development in 1961. In 1991, due to ACCION International's success and the clear need for microfinance in the U.S., ACCION started a U.S. pilot program. Based on the success of this program, ACCION's microfinancing network grew and, today, the U.S. ACCION Network is the largest of its kind in the United States having disbursed over $154 million in small business loans to more than 16,000 entrepreneurs.
