FINCA Canada’s Mission is to
Alleviate Poverty

FINCA Canada is a non-profit organization with a mission to alleviate poverty through lasting solutions that help people build assets, create jobs and raise their standard of living.

FINCA’s History

FINCA Canada was established in 2007 as part of the global FINCA International network which was founded in 1984. For over 30 years, FINCA has provided tens of millions of low-income people with access to financial services they otherwise would not have.

We have long understood that poverty is multidimensional, and we are now expanding beyond our global success in financial inclusion. Today, we work with partners in agriculture, health care, clean energy, FinTech and other sectors to realize our vision of building a global network of sustainable and scalable social enterprises that alleviate poverty worldwide.
