ABOUT US
Mission
Through microcredit and personalized support, we invest in individuals and businesses excluded from traditional financing so they can reach their full potential. The capital loaned comes from investors who share our commitment to social and economic inclusion.
For 35 years, Microcredit Montréal has been fighting poverty and exclusion through concrete actions, mobilizing resources to support social impact initiatives, and placing people at the heart of every investment.
Our Values
Fair and equal access to credit
Trust in the potential of every human being
Leveraging the economic potential of communities
Creating opportunities for those who are excluded
EVERY CITIZEN HAS AN IMPORTANT ROLE TO PLAY
Since its inception, Microcrédit Montréal has understood that in order to combat poverty and exclusion, we must create more opportunities for all individuals, an objective requiring the collaboration of the whole community.
Microcrédit Montréal uses the investments made by citizens and groups in the community to offer microcredit to vulnerable populations. This investment gives individuals the chance to develop to their potential and contribute to Montréal’s economic and social fabric.
A global approach
Microcrédit Montréal is there for those who don’t have equal opportunities as a consequence of institutional barriers. Our philosophy is all-encompassing: the individual is placed at the heart of our intervention, with their experience and ideas approached with respect and integrity. The confidence that we place in our loans to people who face these systemic barriers allows them to take charge of their future with dignity.
Together to build a more inclusive and prosperous society
Microcrédit Montréal, with its mission and know-how, is a facilitator for change connecting marginalized people, investors, volunteers, academic institutions, students, organizations, and decision-makers from all backgrounds. Our goal is to create a network of committed citizens who will catalyze systemic change and create initiatives for the prosperity of the local economy, to benefit all.
