Kiva Launches a new Program to Fund Local Business

Today promises to be a positive day for the entrepreneurial movement in Detroit. Kiva, the internationally renown micro-finance non-profit, is kicking off operations in our city.

For as little as $25, you can help fund a Detroit entrepreneurial dream.  

Kiva Detroit pools together your money with that of other lenders, loaning a local business the capital needed to thrive in Detroit’s small business community. And when that business gets to a good spot and begins to experience growth, your loan is paid back in full.  

Detroit is filled with big, bold and innovative business ideas just waiting for the opportunity to take shape. A vibrant Detroit needs a vibrant independent business community — that’s where you and Kiva Detroit come in. Click over to the site and see if supporting Kiva aligns with your your vision for a better city and small business community.  

Be the change you wish to see in Detroit!
