The Chalmers Center for Economic Development is a research and training organization that equips the local church with economic development tools that holistically impact the global poor. By uniting cutting edge research and microeconomic development strategies with social entrepreneurship principles, the Chalmers Center grows the capacity of the local church to transform the lives of low-income people without creating dependency.
Since 1999, the Chalmers Center has been an industry pioneer in developing and disseminating gospel-driven, economic development innovations including: savings-led microfinance, microenterprise development, financial literacy, jobs preparedness, and matched savings programs.
