How to Make a Contribution:

Thank you for choosing to commit to our cause! Any contribution to the Microfinance Initiative at Bucknell will be deposited directly into our revolving account with KIVA. These funds will then be disbursed and re-disbursed to borrowers for years to come, allowing for more and more low income entrepreneurs to work their way out of poverty.
