Today, I invested some time on KivaFriends.org and located a couple of great programs for marketing and fundraising. Change.org has 466 Kiva supporters and has raised $203 dollars in direct donations for Kiva’s general fund. You can donate as little as $10 and receive your very own Kiva fundraising page. You have the option to upload a photo for your profile or a video, I chose to upload a really great Kiva video I found on YouTube. You can see my Change.org fundraising page for Kiva here: http://www.change.org/nonprofits/projects/view_fundraising_page/16338?network_id=493
Within the Marketing and Fund-raising section of KivaFriends.org I located several references to iGive.com. This is an affinity fundraising site featuring 680 merchants who donate a percentage of sales to the charity or cause of your choice. KivaFriends has an account where 75 affiliated shoppers have generated enough money to fund 55 micro-loans in developing countries. For more details, you can visit the site via this link: http://www.iGive.com/html/refer.cfm?memberid=550794&causeid=41751

There’s a website called Freefroot.com (www.freefroot.com) which donates 100% of its merchants fees to Kiva. It’s a unique site that promotes sustainable design and products through giveaways.
