About us
Kiva (www.kiva.org) expands financial access to help underserved communities thrive. An international non-profit, we serve the financially excluded, especially underbanked women, refugees and communities impacted by forced displacement, climate-vulnerable people and systemically marginalized communities in the United States. By connecting people through crowdfunded loans, Kiva puts the power of financial inclusion in all our hands. Since 2005, the Kiva community has raised over $2 billion in loans, reaching over 5 million people in 84 countries. Kiva’s team is made up of 100+ employees and 450+ volunteers across the world, with offices in San Francisco, Nairobi, Bangkok, and Bogotá.

“Every time a refugee gets a job, the world is a better place.” - Hamdi Ulukaya m, Chobani Founder and CEO, and Founder of Tent Partnership for Refugees, talking about the importance of prioritizing refugees at Clinton Global Initiative with Emerson Collective. I would go one step further to say that every time a refugee starts a business it positively impacts a community and the world. 🌎 🌍 Kiva has proved that lending to refugees is not risky! In fact, repayment rates often exceed the standard repayment rate where they are. Thanks for bringing the refugee story to the stage at #cgi2024 Katie Couric. Reach out if you want to invest in refugees today. 🗺️

36%. That’s the percentage of small-business owners who get a “no” from creditors because of their credit scores, while another 30% are denied due to new or insufficient credit history. But if you can’t get a small business loan to begin with, then how do you start building business credit, which is usually required when applying for loans? Learn more about how Kiva is addressing this predicament in this first edition of our newsletter, Underestimated Entrepreneurs. 👉 Subscribe for more on supporting underestimated entrepreneurs.

At Kiva, we aim to level the financial playing field so all small business owners can make their dreams a reality. And we also know that entrepreneurship can be demanding and overwhelming. We’ve been exploring AI services like ChatGPT to help small business owners with some of the challenges they face. Here’s what we found. You can use ChatGPT for: • 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: Set up automated responses or craft personalized messages for customers’ questions. • 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Develop ideas and drafts for blogs, newsletters, and social media posts. Write captions and product descriptions, or even create images from descriptions. • 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Create, refine, or get feedback on a business plan. • 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀: Learn about market trends, gather customer insights, and design surveys or summarize data. • 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Develop training materials, onboarding docs, FAQs, and help guides. • 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Brainstorm business ideas, product names, and branding elements. • 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀: Draft emails and help plan events, tasks and schedules.
