Matching
Loan matchers can choose to match all loans on Kiva.org or select loans that fit specific geographic and philanthropic interests. When loans are repaid, loan matchers can re-lend those funds again and again, multiplying their impact and helping Kiva.org borrowers get funded twice as fast.
Loan matching partners who make a commitment of over $10,000 receive:
01
When you set up a matching account with Kiva, you define where you want the dollars to go – the countries, sectors and causes that are most important to you.
02
As Kiva lenders browse through fundraising loans, they’ll see a x2 badge with your display name on borrower profiles that fit your criteria.
03
When lenders support a qualifying borrower, a loan for the same dollar amount will also be made from your matching account as long as funds last.
