For example, if you donate $25 to support Kiva's operating expenses, a fund set up by the donation matcher will also donate $25 to Kiva -- essentially doubling the contribution made. Donations must be made on 11/30/21 by 11:59 PM PST to qualify for matching. Matching does not apply to loans or borrowers. A website banner will indicate if matching funds have run out.
