11 Increase profitability  No cost funds: 0% interest monthly bulk loans wired to your bank account  No liability: Client loan losses borne by Kiva (like a securitization)  Flexible currency risk policy: MFI responsible for managing F/X risk; however Kiva Social Investors will likely forgive default if massive devaluation occurs  Low reporting costs: Kiva reduces you staff and IT costs by providing:  Exception based reporting system and automatic monthly net billing  Free full time on-site interns to help train staff and post client data  Free digital cameras and laptops  Free translation, text editing Improve transparency / global reputation  Exposure: Kiva.org is the world’s most trafficked microfinance website  Transparency: Show client level impact/operational excellence to other funders  Be a part of the fastest growing MFI network: Over 65 MFIs in 36 countries raise money via Kiva – growing at 5 MFIs a month… MFI Benefit Summary: Overview

12 Costing out Kiva’s debt capital Interest Rate Kiva Charges Cost of staff time to post client data Write Off Rate F/X Hedging Cost Total Cost of Kiva Capital 0% 0.2% - 2% 1.3% Varies ~0 - 1% Excluding F/X risk Kiva passes 100% of the funds lent via social investors online. Kiva supports its low cost internet operations by charging social investors optional fees. Kiva has been a financially self sufficient 501c3 U.S. non-profit organization since November Based on time study data of MFIs using Kiva, the cost of staff time to post and maintain each client profile on Kiva.org ranges from < $1 USD to $10 USD. The average Kiva loan raised per client profile is $500USD – putting the average cost as a factor of the debt capital raised on Kiva to around 0.2% - 2%. According to the MIcroBanking Bulletin, the average write off ratio for all MFIs listed on the MIX is 1.3% in This number is subtracted from the cost equation since Kiva social investors bear default risk / all MFI write offs. Kiva’s loans are in U.S. dollars and Kiva’s policy is for MFIs to manage the currency risk. The cost of hedging short term loans varies by context and many MFIs simply do not hedge given the large savings spread by using Kiva. For most MFIs, Kiva represents the cheapest U.S. dollar debt capital source available. Comments:

13 MFI Benefit Summary: Medium/Large MFIs In addition the benefits already listed, Kiva can provide significant benefit to medium and large MFIs. Benefits Reduce overall cost of capital Potentially reduce interest rates Maintain interest rates and increase profitability Increased access to capital Increase reach to borrowers

14 MFI Benefit Summary: Small/Growing MFIs Small MFIs list a lack of capital as the largest constraint to growth: a problem Kiva can help solve. Lack of capital 1 A survey of 191 MFIs ranked “Lack of funding” as the biggest constraint to growth –The biggest barrier to funding being “not enough contact with social investors / donors” The main sources of capital are grants and commercial capital Young institutions have difficulty accessing commercial capital –Those that can secure commercial capital do so at relatively high interest rates, which are then passed onto the borrower –Institutions can build equity to borrow against by accepting customer deposits, but this takes a significant amount of time, and subjects them to complex laws Many are unaware of additional sources of funds, or have difficulty securing grants 1, CGAP and Microfinance Information Exchange survey

15 Growing Microfinance Institutions The microfinance landscape is dominated by a long, fragmented tail of small and growing MFIs. MFIs by # of Borrowers Reached 1 # of MFIs worldwide = 10, BlueOrchard website; Microcredit Summit Campaign data, 2006  73% of global microfinance is disbursed by small, growing MFIs  Facilitating the growth of small MFIs will make a significant contribution to the microfinance market

16 Threshold scale needed to access commercial institutional capital # of MFI clients Time With Kiva Without Kiva Barriers to growth: Lack of capital Until MFIs achieve a certain scale, capital is a major constraint to growth. Infusion of Conservative Institutional Capital Infusion of catalytic low cost capital  Individuals can provide risk capital where commercial institutions won’t –Emotional return reduces need for risk adjusted financial return –No overhead cost structure to support (vs. bank) further reduces need for return Impact of access to capital on growth Illustrative
