(Community Matters) NYTImes article on Kiva, Donors Choose, MicroPlace, Modest Needs and DonorsChoose.
Have to first say I’m disappointed about the recent clarifications at Kiva. I’ve had dinner with Kiva’s founder, Matt Flannery, and he clearly misled me and the others at the table about the model. Nevertheless, the model as clarified remains worthy of investment.
ModestNeeds is especially interesting and new – their top aps this morning (sure to be funded as people read the article): 1) a nonprofit serving youths for over 25 years needs one-time funding, 2) a 23-yo single mom needs help financing a car, 3) a musician needs help repairing his car.
