Dear Opportunity Partners,
Join us for a two part Webinar Summer Series on June 3rd and 17th! If you would like to join us, just scroll down and follow the instructions. No need to rsvp.
Operations 101 and 201 . . . A two part summer series!
We report a 98% loan repayment rate and share stories about lives transformed . . . but how does this happen? This webinar series will answer your questions about our operations and provide you with a better understanding of what happens behind the scenes at Opportunity – both through our programs and with our funding. Join us and bring your questions!
Tuesday, June 3rd at 12:00 noon central time
Part I - Operations 101: How do we do it?
Learn how Opportunity International grew to serve 1 million loan clients a year: how loans are made, how loans are used and the role of the loan officers who work with our clients to make it all happen. We will also discuss why banking has become such an important part of our future and how savings is creating opportunities for even more entrepreneurs to benefit from an Opportunity International microloan.
Tuesday, June 17th at 12:00 noon central time
Part II - Operations 201: Where does the funding come from?
How do we fund our work? During this session you will learn about how we raise the funds necessary to support our work – both through private donations and investment capital. We will also cover corporate fundraising and share how we land those large grants from foundations like the Gates Foundation. Join us prepared to ask how you as governors can help secure this funding.
