EverGift provides needed business capital to social enterprises that work to alleviate poverty.

$1,650

raised by 9 people

$10,000 goal

The thing about an EverGift dollar is that it doesn't just do good once, or even twice. It gives back many times, each time sparking social business, raising living standards, improving education and its benefits, transforming communities and unlocking prosperity.

But...what is a social enterprise?

Social enterprises do not aim to offer any financial benefits to their investors or stakeholders. A social enterprise works to alleviate poverty by providing a product that addresses a market, government or aid failure, and employing the underserved demographic effected by this failure. A failure could be a lack of healthcare, nutrient rich foods or education. A social enterprise serving a failure may take many forms, all of which allow individuals and communities to prosper.

EverGift and our supporters see the incredible potential to fight poverty with social enterprise. Social enterprises are highly influential in the alleviation of poverty because they empower the disadvantaged to sustainably solve social problems in their own communities without dependence on aid. Social enterprises, unlike charities, are self-sustaining. By providing working capital loans, which social enterprises repay, EverGift funds can be invested and reinvested, over and over. An EverGift is the most sustainable and effective form of philanthropy--and you can participate!

The results are already showing--Hand in Hand, India was given an EverGift loan just 6 months ago. Already the capital has provided micro-financing loans to ten medium size enterprises, all owned and run by women. Those businesses will take on new employees and continue developing the economy of each community. In the Dominican Republic, EverGift will be extending a group loan to a very special group of students from The DREAM Project. They will have the capital to create 40+ professional careers through a collective business structure.

We invite you to contribute to our cause as we grow and continue providing small business loans to social enterprises. We have an experienced executive board and team of volunteers who dedicate their time to electing quality social enterprises and getting our message out. As we begin to grow our global presence we need to also build a budget. By contributing to our campaign you become the important foundation for a successful EverGift.

EverGift knows that you already share our vision for poverty alleviation, please join EverGift in a crusade for sustainable solutions by making a tax-deductible contribution today.
