Disclaimer: While funds last, matching-eligible loans will be marked with icons that indicate that your lending dollars will be matched “2x,” “3x,” or “4x,” etc. by our sponsors. For example, if you lend $25 to a loan with “2x” matching funds, a fund set up by the loan matcher will also lend $25 to that borrower -- essentially doubling the contribution made to that loan and helping it reach its goal. As a loan approaches its funding goal, the amount left to fund may be too small for the entire match amount to be applied. In this case, a partial match will be applied at checkout. Repayments on the matched amount, however, will return to the sponsor’s lending account, not to your Kiva account.
