Kiva.org receives 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Status

Kiva.org is thrilled to announce that the IRS has determined Kiva.org to be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Code. We are extremely pleased that the IRS has recognized the social value of Kiva.org as a public charity, and we will be updating our site to reflect this new status as soon as possible.

We would like to thanks all those that have been involved in helping Kiva.org achieve this status - both Kiva.org staff and our team of lawyers at Bingham McCutchen, San Francisco. We are extremely grateful for all your hard work - thank you!
