Empowering Change: Piedmont Kiva Initiative
Hello All,
In a world where even small contributions can create ripple effects of positive change, microloans have emerged as a powerful tool to uplift communities. You may have heard of Kiva, the renowned global platform connecting individuals to fund small businesses and initiatives in underserved regions worldwide. Inspired by this impactful model, we’re bringing the spirit of microloans closer to home through Kiva Piedmont Initiative.
KPI was founded on the belief that empowerment begins with opportunity. Our mission is simple yet profound: to use the strength, resources, and generosity of our community to benefit those who are less fortunate.
We recognize the opportunities we’re blessed with—access to education, steady support systems, and the ability to pursue our dreams. These privileges give us a unique responsibility to extend a helping hand to those who may not have the same foundation. Whether it’s local entrepreneurs striving to launch a small business, families navigating economic hardships, or individuals with untapped potential waiting for a chance to shine, our community has the power to make a real difference.
Our story began with two high school girls who saw this potential. They realized that even in a well-resourced community like ours, there were neighbors who needed a little extra help to turn their dreams into reality. What started as a school club has evolved into a movement focused on providing microloans, mentorship, and hope to those in need.
Through collaborative partnerships, mentorship opportunities, and a passionate volunteer base, we’re ensuring that every dollar given creates a meaningful, measurable impact. And just like Kiva, we offer transparency and trust at every step—because we know that when people see the direct results of their contributions, they’re inspired to give more.
We invite you to join us on this journey of empowerment. Whether you’re interested in becoming a lender, offering mentorship, or volunteering your time, there’s a place for you in this movement. Together, we can turn small acts of generosity into transformative change, proving that big dreams can thrive even in the smallest of communities.
Here’s how you can help:
Become a Lender: Your financial support, whether $5 or $500, helps fund small business owners with big dreams.
Volunteer Your Time: Help us run events, connect with local entrepreneurs, or mentor loan recipients.
Spread the Word: Share our mission with friends, family, and local businesses to grow our network of changemakers.
Welcome to Kiva Piedmont Initiative—where local support sparks lasting impact.
