Our mission is to learn about, help shape, build to scale, and facilitate the global exchange of locally developed grassroots financial solutions

Grassroots Finance Action challenges the top-down approach to development by recognizing the incredible capacity of local communities to improve their own living conditions. GFA empowers local solutions by doing the following:

  • Not coming in with our own solutions

  • Asking many questions

  • Identifying community leaders/geniuses who have innovative answers

  • Asking the community geniuses how they would spread their ideas to others

  • Providing resources and support for the community geniuses to test out their ideas

  • Connecting community geniuses with one another to facilitate the exchange of information

  • Documenting the results to promote future scaling
