In addition to this, PayPal engages customers and employees to lend on Kiva.org every year.

At the heart of the Visa Foundation’s mission is the belief that small businesses are the backbone of the global economy.

In 2017, Kiva embarked on an innovative collaboration to accelerate Kiva.org lending. Grant funding from Skoll Foundation and a loan loss commitment from Kiva.org lender enabled Kiva to secure $10M in funding from U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC, then the Overseas Private Investment Corporation OPIC). With this collaboration, Kiva deployed $26.8M of funds from the $10M DFC loan and $49.9M from over 1M Kiva.org lenders. This translated to 99,000 loans to 211,000 borrowers across 30 countries and demonstrated the significant impact that can be achieved when different forms of capital are blended together.
