Fundación Crecer launches 2026 campaign to raise $40 million for micro-loans and support

Fundación Crecer has initiated its 2026 fundraising campaign, a critical initiative designed to bolster economic opportunities for individuals and families in the Santiago Metropolitan Region. Running from August 28 to September 4, the campaign sets an ambitious goal of collecting 40 million pesos.

These crucial funds are earmarked for a multifaceted support system. They will directly finance micro-credits, provide essential training programs, offer social accompaniment, and build robust support networks. The ultimate aim is to empower individuals who are actively generating their own income, enabling them to strengthen their household economies and achieve greater financial stability.

The foundation currently supports nine active entrepreneur groups, comprising 135 participants across seven communes within the Metropolitan Region. To facilitate the fundraising efforts, Fundación Crecer will deploy volunteers at various points throughout the capital city. Complementing these on-the-ground efforts, the campaign also features a dedicated digital platform, colectacrecer.donando.cl, which accepts contributions through a variety of electronic payment methods.

This campaign represents a significant effort to foster economic self-sufficiency and resilience within the community. By providing access to capital, skills development, and ongoing support, Fundación Crecer aims to create a sustainable pathway for entrepreneurs to thrive and contribute to the broader regional economy.
