COVID-19 Kiva Loan Success Story!
In mid-March, as our country was facing the unprecedented reality of rapid closure to ensure public safety the Community Investment Corporation loan team understood exactly what that meant for small businesses, revenue loss that could potentially lead to permanent closure.
Within days the CIC team developed the COVID-19 Emergency Microloan product and began offering access to two community-backed loan products, one from Kiva Tucson and one from Wefunder, each designed to bridge small businesses through the unknown future. Kiva Tucson is a program of Growth Partners Arizona in partnership with the Community Investment Corporation. 
In addition, CIC invested $200,000 of our loan portfolio to support these small businesses either for the $10,000 microloan product or the help businesses reach a time-sensitive community-backed loan goal.
Just Churros was successful with their Kiva Tucson Loan Campaign and we are thrilled to have had this offering make all the difference to the business.
