Additional tips to make your Campaign stand out!

  • Storytelling can be crucial for crowdfunding success!

Lenders will decide to fund you based on your story. Since they're not earning interest on their loans, lenders' reward is seeing you and your business grow. Telling your story is the perfect chance to show lenders what they'll be helping you achieve!

  • Post about your loan on your social media accounts

Use your social accounts throughout your Kiva campaign to keep your audience engaged and up-to-date with how things are going. Reach more people by asking others to share your loan campaign too!

  • Get Creative

    Make flyers and hang them up around your neighborhood! Host a Crowd-Lending party and invite your network to come together and lend to your campaign!
