Kiva, an international nonprofit, connects individuals, corporations, and their employees to those needing financial access through investments and crowdfunded loans. For as little as $25, anyone can open financial opportunities and make a one-to-one impact for women, refugees, small businesses, and communities around the world, turning dreaming into doing and someday into today. Kiva offers corporations the ability to engage their employees in social impact by turning philanthropy into a participatory, purpose-driven journey – allowing employees to direct corporate funds towards entrepreneurs of their choice on Kiva.org. With each loan repaid and reinvested, the same dollars revolve to continue working toward both employee engagement and social impact – often 3x multiplying the impact of a corporation’s contribution. From supporting seasonal employee engagement campaigns to advancing corporate social responsibility goals, Kiva’s corporate partnerships have helped enable more than 2.5 million individuals to lend over 2.5 billion dollars, reaching more than 5 million people in 90+ countries.
