Calvert Foundation Microenterprise Program

In recognition of the success of microfinance in helping the world’s poor to raise their standard of living, the National Peace Corps Association created a Microenterprise Program through which member groups and individuals have the opportunity to invest in micro-credit initiatives. That NPCA loan pool has surpassed $1 million, giving testimony to the RPCV community’s ongoing commitment to the developing world. Join others in helping eliminate extreme poverty in the world. INVEST TODAY!

The MEP program happens through the purchase of Community Investment Notes issued by Calvert Foundation. Investors with a minimum of $1,000 earn a fixed financial return of 0-3%, while generating social returns that are measured in microenterprises and jobs created.

Support of the Peace Corps community

While most MEP investors are individuals, many NPCA member groups also recognize the MEP as a worthwhile place to invest funds that are available for a minimum of one year. Friends of Kenya, Colombia and Nigeria as well as RPCV groups in Chicago, San Diego, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington D.C. have already invested in the MEP.

Among the 550 million people who are currently living on less than $1 per day, there are countless prospective entrepreneurs who have the ability, initiative and energy to change their own lives. This is not a donation that creates dependency but an investment that empowers individuals. By helping people develop a source of income, we also increase the opportunities for their children to attend school and improve health and nutrition levels of these families.

About Calvert Foundation

For over 10 years, Calvert Social Investment Foundation, a nonprofit organization, has been working to make community investment a safe and convenient option for all investors seeking to make a positive social impact. To make community investment accessible to a wider audience, Calvert Foundation has removed critical barriers by creating investment products that blend both financial and social returns. With more than USD 150 MM in assets, Calvert Foundation focuses on using investment capital, rather than conventional philanthropy, to create a sustainable, scalable model that enables nonprofit organizations, microfinance institutions and social enterprises to address critical social problems.

Calvert Social Investment Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, offers the Community Investment Note, which is subject to certain risks, is not a mutual fund, is not FDIC or SIPC insured, and should not be confused with any Calvert Group-sponsored investment product. This article is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities; the offering is made only by the prospectus, which should be read before investing.
