Main Article Content
Abstract
Poverty is one of the major and fundamental problems in Indonesia's development because it is still experienced by most Indonesians. Meanwhile, The problem of poverty often occurs in rural areas. The cause of poverty in rural areas is because rural communities have limited access to finance, even though financing plays a role in starting and developing a business. Microfinance is an alternative financing for rural communities in order to empower the economy of rural communities. In addition, microfinance can also encourage sustainable development and align with SDGs 2030. Therefore, FundGrowth comes as an innovative and visionary solution in supporting microfinance for the economic empowerment of rural communities and promoting sustainable development. The purpose of this study is to explain the concept of FundGrowth in supporting microfinance for rural communities and to identify and explain how FundGrowth can support sustainable development through microfinance. The results of this study show that FundGrowth is a transformational initiative with a high-minded approach to drive economic empowerment in rural areas through innovative microfinance strategies. FundGrowth has five strategic features that can support sustainable development: FundLend, FundEdu, FundNect, FundImpact, and FundBridge.
