Kiva is the world’s first online lending platform which enables members of the community to act as a business' collective lender through the use of microloans. The microloans allow community members to make loans ranging from $25- $5,000 to business owners, with hopes that it leads to the building of vibrant communities.Michigan Corps recently launched Kiva Flint to specifically target businesses in the Vehicle City.
Three Flint small businesses are currently raising funds for their expansion and growth, and we would greatly appreciate your help in building a community around these businesses.Here are the borrower's respective links:
There are generally two things we are looking for from people:
1 - Lend directly to one of these great Flint businesses.
2 - Spread the word and share these pages widely. Online mediums are best (email, social media, etc), but anything helps!

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
