Global Opportunities in Microfinance
This event is exclusively for members and invited guests.
Elizabeth is a co-founder and chairman of the board of Unitus, an innovative nonprofit supporting growth of microfinance institutions around the world. Like Full Circle Fund, Unitus seeks out and invests in social entrepreneurs who are finding solutions to the world's most pressing problems. In the past couple of years, microfinance has been seen as one of the most viable solutions to poverty alleviation, with Unitus at the forefront.
After Elizabeth Funk's remarks, Full Circle Funds members will break out into groups to talk about each of our three issue areas -
education, environment and technology. There will also be a special break-out for those interested in learning more about Full Circle Fund and our emerging Global Economic Opportunity Circle.
