Скачать или смотреть Introduction to Kiva's Environmental Lending - Working towards a long-term strategy

Kiva is a US-based non-profit organization with a mission to help underserved communities thrive. Historically, Kiva has pursued this mission through a crowdfunding platform that allows individuals to lend as little as $25 to micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses around the globe who have limited access to capital. In the past 15 years, USD 1.6 billion has been lent through Kiva to over 3.5 million borrowers in over 80 countries.

Kiva has recently added two new impact lines, Kiva Capital, and Kiva Protocol, in order to expand their service offerings and scale their impact even further.

As Kiva continues to scale, it is looking to create a long-term strategy with respect to environmental protection. This work will range from defining what types of loans are defined as eco-friendly, what types of activities fit Kiva's investment model, and what role third-party organizations may have within the strategy.
