Buy a Kiva Card

Kiva is a nonprofit that knows funding can be a force for good. We connect everyday people with changemakers on the front lines, crowdfunding loans that unlock solutions to poverty, climate change, gender inequality, and forced displacement. Because when money flows to the right people, real change follows.

Loans create agency, not dependency. They give people control and dignity. Instead of waiting for help, people are able to build the future they envision, with the trust and flexibility to do it their way. (Source: Center for Financial Inclusion, “Financial Inclusion and Human Dignity,” 2022)

Yes, the recipient of a Kiva card needs to create a Kiva account to redeem and use the funds. If the recipient doesn't have a Kiva account, they will be prompted to create one when they redeem the card.

Kiva Cards can be delivered by email or printed out at home. Make sure you select the correct delivery method for your gift, as you cannot change the delivery method after you’ve completed your Kiva Card purchase. Please note that we do not offer postal Kiva Card delivery, with the exception of bulk orders. If you would like to order $4,000 or more in postal Kiva Cards, please reach out to us at community@kiva.org.

Kiva Cards are available in $25 increments. You can also purchase $30 Kiva Cards to allow your recipient to include an optional donation to cover Kiva's cost of facilitating their loan.

You can use your Kiva portfolio to view your Kiva Card purchases, print copies, and check if recipients have redeemed their cards.
