First, we started a Family Fund on the micro-lending platform Kiva. The purpose of this fund is to help entrepreneurs around the world who want to improve the quality of their families’ lives by starting or operating their own businesses. We spend time every month picking entrepreneurs whose story calls out to us. Many of our loans are to women who lack access to capital. Most of those women are single mothers.

You can follow all the entrepreneurs and their stories with our Loan Tracker.

Secondly, we created a scholarship for first-generation college students. We hope to help them break the cycle of generational poverty that many families experience.
