Without your kind donations, Lendwithcare wouldn’t have been able to support over 200,000 entrepreneurs with £50 million in funding since 2010.

100% of every loan you make on Lendwithcare goes to the entrepreneurs you choose so that they can grow their businesses and support their families, but there is a cost to facilitate this crucial work.

We ask for a voluntary top-up donation when you make a loan because donations are crucial for us to continue growing Lendwithcare in order to support more entrepreneurs in a wider variety of low-income countries across the globe.

Your voluntary donations enable us to do many things, such as:

• Conduct regular due-diligence and monitoring of our growing number of partner microfinance institutions, and provide critical technical assistance to ensure your loans have the biggest impact
• Build and maintain a website than can facilitate millions of loans to thousands of entrepreneurs
• Provide first-class customer service to thousands of lenders
• And invest in marketing so we can attract new lenders and provide the opportunity to even more low-income and marginalised entrepreneurs around the world to work their own way out of poverty.
• Cover the cost of the bank charges we incur.

Although we suggest 15% of the loan value, all top-up donations are on a voluntary basis and lenders are welcome to adjust their top-up donation amount. This can be done by selecting another value from the drop-down list in the basket.
