how to obtain financing from alterfin

Alterfin works exclusively in Latin America, Africa, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia.

We focus on the microfinance and sustainable agriculture sectors, using two different approaches:

  1. short- and medium-term financing to develop our partners’ activities
  2. technical assistance to strengthen our partners’ capabilities.

The criteria and conditions for financing vary, depending on the sector. To be eligible, candidate organizations must share our vision of sustainable development. We won’t finance any company on our exclusion list under any circumstances.
