SKS Microfinance is honored to work with a world class group of partners and supporters. Starting out as a small NGO, SKS received early support from close friends and family. As the organization grew, so did its list of partners, starting with leading foundations and donor organizations, like Women's World Banking (www.swwb.org), CGAP (www.cgap.org), Grameen Foundation USA (www.gfusa.org) and American India Foundation (www.aifoundation.org), and now as an NBFC, some of the largest banks and investors work with SKS. The world�s second largest bank, HSBC (www.hsbc.com), made its first microfinance loan to SKS and Citibank, widely known as one of the most conservative banks, made its first microfinance loan in India to SKS. SKS is also an active participant in global microfinance organizations, like MIX Market (www.mixmarket.org) and MicroFinance Network (www.mfnetwork.org).
