2013 U.S. Microenterprise Census

The U.S. Microenterprise Census is designed to count and collect information on microenterprise development programs.

Questions in the first three sections are multiple choice and customize the survey to ask only questions that apply to your program. Please answer as many questions as you can. All programs completing descriptive data on services will be listed in the microTracker Program Index. 

Your answers to the quantitative questions will enable your organization to more clearly distinguish itself to funders and media, build a stronger database for your own benchmarking and other data needs, and provide important information for advocacy efforts at this critical time for the field

All questions refer to the time period corresponding to your organization’s Fiscal Year 2012, unless otherwise noted.
