Merger of Two Organizations Founded by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus

Grameen Foundation is a global nonprofit organization that partners with local organizations and leverages digital technology, microfinance support, human-centered design, and data-driven insights to advance financial inclusion, improve health, and support livelihoods for women, families, and smallholder farmers. Yunus Social Business Fund is a global nonprofit venture fund inspired by Muhammad Yunus’ vision to support social entrepreneurs and mission-driven enterprises. The Grameen board determined that merging with a mission-aligned partner is the best path to sustain Grameen’s mission. The SeaChange-Lodestar Fund provided a grant to support the financial integration costs associated with the merger.
