This month, Kiva will celebrate reaching $1 billion in change-making loans! Here in Pittsburgh, we are doing our part by holding a pitch fest with live lending to actual Pittsburgh business owners who are funding a Kiva loan.

Join us at Alloy 26 for food from Kiva business owners and to hear crowdfunding Pittsubrgh entrepreneurs share their story and how a Kiva loan will help them pursue their business goals. YOU get the chance to impact a local business by lending $25+ to a owner that will eventually repay you. (The first 20 attendees will receive $25 Kiva Cards to lend at the event!) The entrepreneur who receives the most loans during the event will receive a bonus loan from Kiva Pittsburgh!

Business owners attending will be announced soon!
