Kiva is seeking new partners in cities across America. Please apply below if your organization wants to support local small business growth with Kiva in the U.S.

What is Kiva City?

Kiva City extends microfinance to small businesses across America. With Kiva City, credit unions or other financial institutions partner at a local level to facilitate the loans, while community groups and civic leaders build awareness among small business owners and refer them to the program.

Check out our newest Kiva City — Kiva Little Rock!

Each Kiva City requires three partners:

Civic Leaders: Mayors & elected officials can demonstrate the power of community engagement by committing to bring Kiva to your city.
Community Organizations: Work with small business networks, nonprofits, churches, and other community associations to post local businesses to Kiva.
Financial Institutions: Partner directly with Kiva or get trained on the small business referral process.
