Kiva Rochester Celebrates 10 Years | Rochester News

Rochester’s Kiva program just hit a major milestone—10 years of empowering local entrepreneurs with zero-interest, no-fee, collateral-free loans totaling over $1.5 million since 2016. Designed to level the playing field for those overlooked by traditional banks, it’s helped dreamers turn ideas into reality without credit score hurdles. Stephanie Armstrong of Moxie Creative Studios shared how vital this support is—not just for funding, but for community investment and growth. City officials call it one of the nation’s top-performing Kiva programs, and with its big anniversary coming up in August, there’s plenty to celebrate as it heads into its next decade.
