This mission is for anyone who believes in the spirit of entrepreneurship, kindness, and the phrase "We are better together."Most shop owners in materially-poor countries cannot qualify for business financing. Either they don't have a formal business or sufficient collateral; or they are simply marginalized and discriminated against. Currently, their only option is getting loans from predatory lenders who charge upwards of EIGHTY PERCENT (80%) interest. Because of greed and a lack of awareness, growth is choked; communities stay in poverty; and family livelihoods are at risk.This makes me both so angry at a broken system, and proud of the work Sunday is doing to dismantle it.Sunday is a 501(c)3 that has created an innovative (and generous) microfinance program called Donation Lending™. HOW IT WORKS: When you and I donate tax-deductible funds to Sunday, Director Bryan Greenwood and his team, in turn, give small donations (classified as loans) to these shop owners.We have volunteers in the field - made up of Ph.D's, professors, and entrepreneurs - who source, vet, and propose these loans for funding. THE DIFFERENCE: They DO NOT charge interest or fees; and their repayments go to financing other entrepreneurs like them with the same terms. They get to expand or stay afloat, AND they get to pay it forward. And our investment keeps on giving. As of June 2021, their work has funded 317 entrepreneurs (81% female) in 35 countries since 2013. Ben's platform gives donors, partners, and volunteers the opportunity to participate in our work and make an immediate impact. We're looking for generous individuals and corporate entities to help fund more entrepreneurs. Any amount matters, and goes far - especially with arbitrage. Hope to to talk you.
