April -- the month of spring, flowers... and taxes. Repayments make Kiva loans not tax-deductible in the United States. However, donations to Kiva’s operational expenses are! So remember if you made a donation to Kiva last year to declare it on your returns! For every $1 you donate to Kiva, $9 more in loans is made possible. So not only will you be able to breathe a sigh of relief next April 15, but you’ll be helping people in the process! If this April 15 is going to be particularly painful for you, do yourself a favor and donate to Kiva! You’ll thank yourself next year!
Donate to Kiva to make an impact on the world by helping people while helping yourself on Tax Day.
Click here to make a donation or choose to make a small donation the next time you make a loan. Any questions about how to write off your Kiva donation? Email us at blog@kiva.org.
