Help Grow Small Businesses & Promote Local Job Creation
The City of York encourages local small business owners and entrepreneurs to explore opportunities through Kiva, an international crowd-lending website that provides zero-interest loans of up to $15,000. Kiva works with communities to offer financially excluded entrepreneurs access to capital, supporting small business growth and economic development.
Although the City of York is no longer an official Kiva Hub, we remain committed to connecting our entrepreneurs with valuable resources. This initiative continues to be supported by partners like PNC and the York County Community Foundation.
