Kiva Greater Madison

We empower minority-owned and women-owned small businesses to reach their full potential.

Greater Madison is full of opportunity and entrepreneurship. 


But for many local entrepreneurs who dream of starting their own businesses, options for accessing capital are limited. These entrepreneurs are among the vast number of financially excluded individuals in the U.S. who are then unable to launch or grow their ideas. 

Kiva Greater Madison provides 0% interest capital to local small businesses. Through direct lending on Kiva, supporters of Greater Madison entrepreneurs can help local communities shape their future and achieve economic mobility. Check out the video to learn more and lend locally to help fund an entrepreneur near you.
