Donor Resources

FIELD is engaged in several efforts to support donors interested in the domestic microenterprise field:

FIELD staffs the Microenterprise Funders Group, a venue for large and small, corporate and private, and local, regional and national funders to share information and other resources to inform their grants and investments.

FIELD’s Funder Guide Series are brief publications aimed at helping donors better understand the industry and its challenges, as well as where investments could be most effective.

FIELD hosts donor-only Webinars on topics identified by members of the Microenterprise Funders Group.

FIELD partnered with the Association of Small Foundations to produce Microenterprise American Style: A Guide for Small Funders, which describes how foundations with limited staffs and resources can make strategic investments in the microenterprise field.
