The NYU Microfinance Initiative (NYUMI) is a University-wide task force created to provide a forum for students, faculty, and community members to share knowledge about opportunities and developments in microfinance, raise awareness about microfinance in the New York University community, and connect with leading experts and practitioners in the field. 

Led by students, the task force is supported by the Financial Access Initiative (FAI), housed at the Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service.  FAI is a consortium of leading development economists focused on substantially expanding access to quality financial services for low-income individuals.
