Hmmm.... A lovely and worthy initiative. Too bad the news didn't come out about 2 days earlier. If I had known before I started my relending spree I could have made a bit of a dent in those 5000 loans they're looking for. Now I only have a few credits left.... I guess I'll have to wait to join and then blitz it in April.  |

Love Tia Team Tiawww.tiasadventure.comHi Tia and family... Isn't it fun seeing those credits come back in?  And you don't need credits to join any teams, you can add your name any time... then next time you lend, just scroll down to Intuit and assign the loan to them and they will donate $10 to Kiva. I will be assigning all of mine to Intuit until such time as the offer closes. That means Team Tia and People with Livestock and the Single Parents teams etc. won't get credit for any of my loans for a while, but I think that's worth putting $10 in Kiva's pocket for each one  so keep smiling... we're gone away, but not gone far... it's only until May or until they reach the 5000... -jan- |

1) Join Intuit's Lending Team by clicking here. 2) Make a loan within 30 days of joining and be sure to count it towards the Intuit Lending Team's totals. 3) Also, please note that you can make multiple loans within the 30-day period and each loan will be matched with a $10 donation to Kiva. I'm confused. The blog says $10 for every $25 lent, the team page says $10,000 for every 1,000 people who join and lend at least $25. Which is it? Incidentally, when I clicked on the Love a Local Business link I was immediately confronted with a local business offering erotic massages!  |

Great! Shame I won´t be seeing you on Team Tia and on your other teams aswell, for a little while. We will miss you as you are fab! No worries as we will see you back here soon though. I am going to join the group when I have enough credits to make a loan. I don´t want to join before as I want to be sure I can make a loan before 30 days are over. Love Tia xxxxxx |

I suppose that's the danger with this type of link... no massages offered here in Calgary, but there were 5 other businesses recommended by somebody or other... but as to the lending and donation credits... now I'm confused too  so I just sent a message on the team messages... we'll see who writes back. -jan- |

I've been lending and assigning to the Intuit team...
There have been team messages asking questions about the rules and no answers seem forthcoming...
I don't even know where to look to see if Intuit is matching or loaning or some kind of progress report...
Has anyone seen any up to date news on this???

I ended up Messaging the team captain, who is an employee of Intuit, asking her to clarify those questions. Since I am a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, if I don't get an answer that route I will climb the corporate tree.

Intuit's matching program will run through the end of May 2010, so make your loan today! Thank you to Intuit for their generous support of Kiva and to our lending community for participating in this wonderful initiative! I am really sorry to say so, but number 3 is not correct.  This message was posted today to the Intuit lending team message board after several members had asked for clarification: "Thanks to all of you who have joined our Lending Team! We have received some questions about our Lending Team, so wanted to share the answers here for everyone: - For each person who joins the Intuit Lending Team and makes a Kiva loan of $25 or more, Intuit will match with a $10 donation to Kiva. - The donation match is per person, not per loan – our goal is to donate $50,000, so please continue to spread the word to help us reach 5,000 members!- The actual donations from Intuit will be made each time 1,000 people join the Lending Team, $10,000 at a time. - We're extending the deadline to build our team to 1,000 to May 31 -- if for some reason we don’t reach 1,000 members before our May 31 deadline, we will still donate the $10 per person." I will write to Kiva and ask to change their blog entry. ----------------- The team has at the moment 313 members what would mean $3130 for Kiva so far. Not sure if we will be able to reach the 5,000, but everyone new member who joins and makes one loan on behalf of the team would be great! |

How will they identify whether a person who joined the team made a loan on behalf of the team? As far as I know, they can tell how many current members the team has (but not how many members have joined the team), and they can identify how many loans have been made on behalf of the team - but they can't identify which members (past and present) have made a loan on behalf of the team. So, if one member makes two loans, and another member makes no loans, they won't have any way of saying that only $10 (rather than $20) is payable to Kiva. And just because there are only 315 members (as I write this) does not mean that only $3150 (or some lesser amount) is owed to Kiva - the 392 loans made on behalf of the team could have come from 392 different people and thus $3920 could be due to Kiva. Someone obviously hasn't thought this through before setting up the challenge. (Or maybe Kiva is providing them with more info than they are providing to other teams  ) Edit: It looks like there are several anonymous lenders on the team - how will Intuit identify which anonymous lenders make loans and which ones don't? Hopefully Kiva won't divulge that info to them, even if they do provide other info! |

Thank you for your messages and we apologize for any confusion around the Intuit Challenge. We have edited our blog post to clarify the challenge. Please see the post at http://www.kiva.org/blog/2010/03/16/join-intuits-lending-team-and-support.html. Kiva is working on our tracking system for this exciting initiative and we look forward to sharing the final results of the challenge with all of you after it ends in May. The important aspect of the challenge is encouraging people to not only join the team, but also to make a loan. Thank you for your support of Kiva and for your feedback! Best regards, Lisa Kiva's Community Outreach Team |

I don't know the "how", but since I have dropped out of two teams, I went back to see if those loans in my portfolio are still listed as credited to those teams-- and they are. So it's in their database, I just don't know how they would extract it. Dan |

So if you want to give gift sertificates to somebody, and they join the team that counts. |

To sort of close the circle on this subject, I just noticed this post from Laura on the Intuit team board, dated June 3, 2010: Hi team -- at the end of May we had 385 team members who made loans, so Intuit's gift to Kiva will be $3850. We will process it this month and it will arrive in July. Thanks everyone for your partcipation in this challenge.
The total number of members of that team today is 384, with 599 total team loans, so I suspect they just took the number of team members and assumed each had made at least one loan. Good work, folks! --Diane. |

Actually, not all of their team members made a loan.
But because of the early confusion, there were any number of team members who mistakenly attributed more than one loan to the Intuit team.
So I guess that more than offsets the few members who had none.
