We did it! Amazing Million Dollar Match Day

July 15, 2014



The Kiva community helped make history on July 10 — more than 25,000 Kiva lenders sent $2.9 million to the field, helping make a difference in 56 countries!
$1 Million Match Day was made possible by a troupe of generous donors like Google, Grameen-Jameel and Richard Brindle, who matched loans to borrowers across Kiva and Kiva Zip. So for example, when a Kiva lender gave a $50 loan, it was matched and the Kiva borrower was $100 closer to their goal.
We’re so excited you created such a tremendous impact in a single day and we’re sending a HUGE heart-felt thank you to the Kiva community for coming together to make this amazing day possible! We’ve compiled some of our favorite comments from you on #MatchDay and couldn’t help but share them:






Thanks again for an inspiring day, we enjoyed it and we hope you did too!
