About us

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.

This morning, I got my 2025 Kiva account summary — a quiet reminder of how small contributions can spark real change. Each loan I’ve made has helped someone build a business, support a family, or take a step toward financial independence. What makes it even better? Bank of America has made it seamless for employees to get involved. With just a few clicks, employees can help entrepreneurs around the world move forward. If you’ve ever wondered how to make your giving more personal, more direct, and more empowering — Kiva is a great place to start. #Kiva #Microfinance #BankOfAmerica #EmployeeImpact #PurposeDrivenWork #SocialImpact #GiveBetter
