November 5th SVMN Meeting: MicroPlace, Calvert Foundation

Posted by Dave McClure on October 13, 2007

Investing in Microfinance

Solutions for the Everyday Investor

Our next SVMN meeting will be on Monday, November 5th and will feature Tracey Pettengill Turner & Karl Wiley of MicroPlace, an eBay company, and Shari Berenbach, Executive Director of The Calvert Foundation, a leader in socially responsible investing.

In the past microfinance investing has typically been the domain of foundations & high net-worth individuals. With the launch of eBay’s new MicroPlace.com, it’s possible for anyone to invest wisely, earn a social return AND end poverty… even with just $100, you really can do it all. Come learn how to invest in microfinance institutions around the world from Kenya to Cambodia to Ecuador.
