Trust MicroFin Network (TMN) has been promoted by development professionals working for poverty alleviation in India. TMN has emerged from the efforts of supporting and professionalizing NGOs in development activities specifically in microfinance and livelihoods.

The vision of TMN is to “Have a responsible society that works to empower poor, reduces disparity and creates equal opportunities for dignified life in less developed regions of India through sustainable institutions and sustainable use of Human, Financial and Natural resources.”

TMN would achieve its vision by promoting microfinance, livelihood finance, livelihood support and providing institutional development support to non-government organizations (NGOs), microfinance institutions (MFIs) and community based organizations (CBOs) that are committed to the goal of addressing poverty.

TMN has been focusing on promotion of microfinance in North India by providing institutional development support, handholding, system setting, and financing small start up NGOs and MFIs in microfinance.

Since inception in 2006, TMN has supported and incubated over 20 organizations in UP, Bihar, Jharkhand and Rajasthan in microfinance.

The cumulative loans provided for on-lending to the partner NGO/MFIs is nearly Rs 240 million. This has been leveraged by partners and they have in turn provided finance of over Rs 600 million.

The cumulative reach of all the TMN partners is over 120,000 members.

Institutional development for development intervention in livelihood and microfinance has emerged as one of the core competencies of TMN.
