I think they're doing great work for small business owners, who sometimes just need a small loan to pay for their website or mail a postcard campaign.<BR/><BR/>KarynKaryn Greenstreethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03598141393153660560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14387201.post-15289581296482411152008-02-07T21:29:00.000-05:002008-02-07T21:29:00.000-05:002008-02-07T21:29:00.000-05:00Hi Karyn, interesting post on your blog. This year I gave many of my clients a gift certificate of $25 to Kiva.org - an online company which gives microloans to small business owners - usually individuals - in third world countries. I didn't know that there were organizations here in the States that were following the same business model. I think it's a great idea and I'm glad to see it emerging as a viable funding option for small business owners. Thanks for filling us in.<BR/><BR/>Kae Wagner<BR/>Inside Small Biz<BR/><BR/>"Do what matters everyday and everyday will matter."kaewagnoreply@blogger.com
