Overview

Why are you interested in becoming a Trustee?

At Determination, Incorporated, we support second chance entrepreneurs. One of the main barriers to their businesses is access to capital. By helping our community members secure crowdfunded loans through Kiva, we can help them move their business forward.

What is the mission of your organization?

We empower a community of formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs with service-based businesses that are supporting one another on their reentry and entrepreneurial journeys.

Borrower Due Diligence

How will you decide who to endorse as a borrower? What due diligence will you conduct?

Borrowers we endorse will be active members of our community who attend our Be the Boss Business Support Group. We will help them with their application and business plan. Their business must be at least 1 year old, registered, generate at least $25,000-50,000 annually, and have a business bank account.
