As of October 2007, they pass on 100% of loaned funds to microfinance &#8220;field partners&#8221; and do not themselves charge interest on the loan (field partners can and do charge interest, but you will not be paid interest on your loaned funds). Kiva provides useful and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiva.org\/about\/faq\/\">honest answers to important questions<\/a> on their website. We encourage you to explore the Kiva website and consider lending to people who need access to small amounts of credit. Even if you wish to give us gifts directly, you may wish to consider loaning through Kiva or a similar organization and giving the loan funds as they are repaid.\n\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t  Funds promised to borrowers through Kiva constitute reasonably low-risk loans that you make with the expectation of repayment, so they are <strong>not<\/strong> tax-deductible as charitable donations.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Donate<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>\n\tThe <a href=\"http:\/\/nrdc.org\/\">Natural Resources Defense Council (&#8220;<abbr title=\"Natural Resources Defense Council\">NRDC<\/abbr>&#8220;)<\/a> is a nation-wide advocacy group that works to protect environmental assets through research, public education campaigns and legislative and regulatory action.
