Where shopping online helps fund loans at KIVA.org

KIVA Shopping Club was started in late June 2007 by Henry.  Quickly we had over 10 members supporting the club.  Our first loan was funded in July of 2007.  Our club members make purchases of items they need by going shopping from the IGive.com website.  The vendor they use gives a percentage to KSC. Individuals information remains private between the store and the individual.  IGive only provides the signup email and name to KSC along with a donation amount.

When credits are posted to the IGive account we update the Member stats page of the website once or twice a month.  Here you will see the balance of each members IGive contributions by Year.  Every time IGive sends a check to KSC we deposit that amount into one of the KSC KIVA.org accounts and the next loan is selected.  (IGive disburses checks with a 3 month delay), when loan payments are received the credit that is received from KIVA is reinvested into new loans as quickly as the club can pick them.

We would love to have 100’s even thousands of members and hope you join up with us and learn to do your shopping through the IGive.com Mall.

Keep Shopping! - KSC

KIVA Shopping Club

Due to the account reimbursement on KIVA.org at this time, we are trying a new ‘team’ picking method.  The teams will meet during the first of the month and fund a predetermined amount of loans.

 

If you’d like to volunteer to be on a team please contact admin@kivashoppingclub.com or KSC on http://www.kivafriends.org

 

 

KIVAShopping Club is managed and run by a group of people on www.kivafriends.org this group jointly manages the accounts helps with members selections of loans and backs each other up when someone travels or might not be able to perform their duties for the club.  We feel like we have all bases covered to protect the money that is directed our way for use funding loans on KIVA.org.

 

At present (and we see no changes) there are no expenses required to run and maintain the KIVAShipping Club.  The website 2007 and 2008 has been donated by a Henry.
