Dear KivaFriends, I have some GREAT news!  An anonymous KivaFriend has offered to match any donations made to Kiva by a fellow KivaFriend up to a total of $2,500. Kivafriends could end up contributing $5,000 to Kiva!  When you make a donation to Kiva during the loaning process, PM me the link to your loan, how much you donated, and I will keep a running total for our most generous, anonymous benefactor.  Ready, set, GO!  Edit to clarify: This is a challenge to match your donation to Kiva that accompanies each loan. Edit to clarify: Kiva Credits donated to Kiva will also be honored.TALLY TO DATE: $105.00 |

Start date begins today, and continues until the $2500 is met. So start your lending, and include a nice donation to Kiva so it can be matched! |

Hey Eli! Just for clarification purposes, this is for donations to KIVA and not loans correct?

Just thought I'd post this again since it is such GREAT news! An anonymous KivaFriend has offered to match any donations made to Kiva by a fellow KivaFriend up to a total of $2,500. Kivafriends could end up contributing $5,000 to Kiva! When you make a donation to Kiva during the loaning process, PM me the link to your loan, how much you donated, and I will keep a running total for our most generous, anonymous benefactor. This challenge started on Friday, August 15th, so loans on that date or since are eligible!  Ready, set, GO! Edit to clarify: This is a challenge to match your donation to Kiva that accompanies each loan. TALLY TO DATE OF THIS POSTING: $17.50**running tally will be kept on first page** |

You specifically used the phrase donating "during the lending process".
Just for clarification, does a donation of a Kiva Credit directly count in this match program? I've actually never donated that way before, but we just had a loan repaid and have credits available. We were thinking about just donating the proceeds to Kiva, especially on account of this generous offer.
