We feel great! Just made a microloan to a #smallbiz owner on @kivazip: zip.kiva.org/loans/5173?invi… #whyizip
Just because school is out for the summer doesn't mean that socially impactful work also has to stop. Look into what you can do today!
Connected with the @ElmseedFund this weekend in the windy city. Theyve been at it for 11 years! #lendforconnecticut
