Adie is operational balance in 2011 and its financial balance in 2013

This is the kick-off for a new "dream team". The first sponsorship Committee of the Endowment Fund of Adie for popular entrepreneurship must meet this afternoon and gather ten figures of employers deemed to be sensitive to social issues or society, Claude Bébéar, Eric Coisne, Jean-Claude Detilleux, Pierre Fonlupt, Xavier Fontanet, André Mulliez, Michel Pebereau, Franck Riboud, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux and Pierre Simon, the whole under the chairmanship of Muhammad Yunusthe Nobel Prize in peace.

The world Pope of microcredit has long-standing Maria Nowak, and this new Endowment Fund, operating current March, represents an important issue for the sustainability of the Association for the development of the economic initiative (Adie), which funds the creators unemployed from employment for two decades, without forgetting to offer insurance (see below).

As specified by its founder, Maria Nowak, born in 1935 in Poland, his "economic model is to succeed to cover the cost of credit and find stable funding for support to microentrepreneurs. Clearly, these support costs must always be subsidized and the logic is to gradually increase the share of private donors.

It also, the creation of a public utility Foundation is more complicated and requested more capital, a challenge on a background of financial crisis for very large donors. "We decided to create an Endowment Fund, even if later transform it into a foundation of public utility, and it will also be intended to be a popular entrepreneurship development program", soon launched by Adie in response to the crisis.

20,000 ready this year

Established last year and based on the model of the "endowment funds" Americans, endowment can receive and manage capitalizing them, property and the rights of any nature, including bequests, and use the revenue for a work of general interest ("Les Echos" from November 19, 2008).

The Adie starts with 1.5 million, the gift of a Belgian artist who died, sensitive to all forms of creation. No substitute for the association, which retains its triple mission of funding, support and proposal, there is an additional tool to develop a current of opinion to micro, including on the Internet, which is indeed already platforms of microfinance (e.g. Kiva or Babyloan, among others). The launch of the online support community should be performed in may, in connection with the week of microcredit.

"The major idea is to involve everyone, large and small, through the collection through the Internet and via our networks to develop initiative and solidarity." Endowment Fund sponsors have already achieved a long career of entrepreneurs, often in very large groups and it is intended: "They will give visibility to those invisible micro."

As the "banker of the poor" is not désarçonnée by the economic crisis, on the contrary. His eyes, the adoption of the status of the contractor is an "extraordinary success," but "the Government was not up to the end, because need access to credit and support, and this has not been integrated in the stimulus package." Adie is operational balance in 2011 and its financial balance in 2013. It is planning to grant loans 20,000 this year, an increase of half a year.
