Brainbox is a proud supporter of the Kiva Microfinance program.  More than 1.7 billion people around the world are unbanked and can’t access the financial services they need.  Kiva is an international nonprofit, founded in 2005 in San Francisco, with a mission to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive.  Kiva does this by crowdfunding loans and unlocking capital for the under-served, improving the quality and cost of financial services, and addressing the underlying barriers to financial access around the world.  Through Kiva’s work, students can pay for tuition, women can start businesses, farmers are able to invest in equipment and families can afford needed emergency care.  This is consistent with the Brainbox core value of ‘kindness’ and also with our corporate philosophy of helping people unlock their potential to be the best versions of themselves.
