Micro Sol Ente Filantropico is an Italy-based solidarity lender that supports poverty alleviation through interest-free microcredit rather than traditional grants. It primarily funds nonprofit microfinance partners, cooperatives, and NGOs that on-lend to micro-entrepreneurs in lower-income countries, with a strong emphasis on livelihoods, dignified work, and local economic inclusion. Their portfolio suggests a practical, partner-driven model focused on rural and agricultural income generation, especially where small loans can help scale community-based enterprises.
Provides interest-free microloans to vetted nonprofit partner organizations, typically in cycles that range from a few hundred to tens of thousands of euros per partner. Giving appears to be relationship-based and program-specific rather than open-application philanthropy, with funding routed through local intermediaries that manage end borrowers.
Approach Micro Sol as a partner lender, not a conventional grantmaker: they support nonprofit intermediaries that can manage microcredit programs on the ground. Prospective partners should be prepared to show local implementation capacity, borrower selection and repayment systems, and a clear livelihoods or enterprise-development use case; direct solicitation is likely less effective than a partnership-oriented introduction.
