A proud Grameen Kootha CowFund Client in India, with her cows

Established in 2004, CowFund is an Australian not-for-profit initiative that supports the delivery of microcredit projects in developing communities in Asia.

All CowFund-supported programs are locally-designed, cooperative systems which endeavour to be financially sustainable in the long-term. This ensures that:

• investment made by local participants returns to themselves and their communities, and
• CowFund donors can be confident about the ongoing impact of their donations.

As our motto states, CowFund aims to offer developing communities ‘a hand up, not a handout’.
