Kiva
LISC LA is partnering with Kiva and the New Economics for Women (NEW) Women's Business Center to anchor the LA Kiva Hub.
Through the Kiva platform, small business owners can access 0% interest no fee micro-loans up to $15,000. The loans are crowdfunded on the Kiva platform and LISC provides qualified LA Kiva Hub borrowers with matching loan funds through our LA Accelerator Fund.
Kiva loans are a great resource for entrepreneurs that cannot access traditional small business loans due to lack of collateral or strong credit scores.

The LISC LA Kiva Accelerator Fund is made possible by City National Bank and Farmers and Merchants Bank.
