"How did Grameen Foundation get started?
We sprang from a rich heritage – Grameen Bank of Bangladesh and Professor Muhammad Yunus, the founder and managing director of Grameen Bank." "In launching Grameen Foundation in 1997, Professor Yunus challenged us to deliver the promise of microfinance around the world. Grameen Foundation was established by Alex Counts, our founding and current president. We continue and highly value our close relationship with Professor Yunus and Grameen Bank. Professor Yunus remains a valued member of our board of directors."
"Grameen Foundation shares and supports the philosophy of Grameen Bank. We are strong strategic partners and work closely together to reduce global poverty among the poorest of the poor. We pursue a common vision by sharing knowledge and success models to accelerate the rate at which the world's poorest people can access microfinance and begin their journey out of poverty. However, we are independent organizations with separate management, staff, funding sources, and governing boards. Grameen Bank operates in Bangladesh only. As the largest and most successful microfinance organization, it strongly influences the direction of microfinance globally.
Grameen Foundation is a U.S-based microfinance and technology organization that works with local organizations to help them reach and serve poor people. "
