                                   INTERNATIONAL MICRO-LOANS OF BUFFALO

 

This past month has been exceptionally successful for the IMB (International Microloans of Buffalo), as we lent out just over $2,000 in December alone. We’re thrilled to carry this momentum into the new year as we continue fulfilling our mission to assist entrepreneurs and small-business owners worldwide. Your support plays a vital role in helping us empower individuals and communities in need, and we sincerely thank you for being a part of our journey.

As 2024 comes to a close, we’d like to share some exciting highlights from our loaning history:

• Top 1% of Lenders on Kiva: IMB is proud to rank in the 99th percentile among all Kiva lenders.

• Global Impact: We’ve extended loans to people in more than 60 different countries, supporting diverse communities around the world.

• Successful Fundraising: In October, we hosted a major fundraiser at St. Joe’s, which raised $1,861. Interestingly, this amount mirrors the year St. Joe’s was founded—1861. Since then, every dollar raised has already been loaned out to further our mission of helping those in need.

By the end of 2024, we will have loaned out a total of over $270,000 through Kiva. Looking ahead, our goal is to reach $300,000 by the end of the school year and continue building toward even greater milestones as we approach 2026.

Your continued support can make a real difference. If you’d like to help us achieve our ambitious goals, please consider making a donation. (https://www.buffalomicroloans.com/our-services).

Together, we can expand our reach and continue making a positive impact worldwide.

Thank you for being a part of our mission. Here’s to a prosperous and impactful 2025!

Sincerely,

The International Micro-Loans of Buffalo
