Overview

Why are you interested in becoming a Trustee?

Culturingua is working on providing unconventional and alternative funding sources to underserved communities and entrepreneurs. Becoming a Kiva trustee will help us raise capital for those communities.

What is the mission of your organization?

Cultivate, promote, and preserve the Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian (MENASA) cultural, linguistic, and artistic heritage to invest in human, community, and economic development of Bexar County.

Borrower Due Diligence

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

Borrowers must be selected to join Culturingua's entrepreneurship training or accelerator program first. Then, as our entrepreneurs graduate, we would have known each one's business, team, culture, and strategy very well, which will help us to better select which ones should be endorsed. Additionally, we will pair the entrepreneur with a mentor to continue supporting him or her thoroughout the growth phase.
