Kiva (www.kiva.org) expands financial access to help underserved communities thrive. An international non-profit, we serve the financially excluded, especially underbanked women, refugees and communities impacted by forced displacement, climate-vulnerable people and systemically marginalized communities in the United States.
By connecting people through crowdfunded loans, Kiva puts the power of financial inclusion in all our hands.
Since 2005, the Kiva community has raised over $2 billion in loans, reaching over 5 million people in 84 countries.
Kiva’s team is made up of 100+ employees and 450+ volunteers across the world, with offices in San Francisco, Nairobi, Bangkok, and Bogotá.
Echoing Green identifies tomorrow’s transformational leaders today. Through its Fellowships and other initiatives, Echoing Green spots emerging leaders and invests deeply in their success to accelerate their impact. The organization has established a global community of emerging leaders who have launched hundreds of innovative social enterprises to drive social good.
In June 2020, Echoing Green launched a $50 million Racial Equity Philanthropic Fund (REPF) and has since increased that fundraising goal to $75 million. With this fund, Echoing Green furthers over three decades of commitment to bold, strategic investments in incredible leaders working on the frontlines of racial equity and justice.
