,


Overview

Why are you interested in becoming a Trustee?
Being a Kiva Trustee will allow the Hazelwood Initiative to enhance the financial and technical assistance we provide to start-up and existing businesses in greater Hazelwood. We expect this will have a catalytic effect, as successful borrowers will not only repay their crowd sourced loans, but will help identify and recruit other borrowers whose ideas and dreams have potential for success.
What is the mission of your organization?
The Mission of the Hazelwood Initiative as a community-based, community development corporation is to be neighborhood driven, providing a shared stronger voice for Greater Hazelwood by gathering community input to build a sense of hope, harmony and promise, and by supporting human, spiritual and community development.

Borrower Due Diligence

How will you decide who to endorse as a borrower? What due diligence will you conduct?
Similar to a lending organization, we will have criteria for underwriting. That includes, but is not limited to proof of identity; analysis of business plan; lengthy interview regarding hopes, dreams and the person's vision of their future success; evaluation of credit report and credit score; review of assets and liabilities, debt load capacity, etc.; observation of product sales or service delivery; and possible queries of customers and vendors
