About

Animas Foundation was founded in 2013 with a social mission to help improve the lives of low-income families.  This is done though education of money matters and financial responsibility with programs aimed at elementary school children, young adults and small business owners.  Our "Pathways to Economic Freedom" program identifies low-income earners with an entrepreneurial spirit who have always dreamed of owning their own business but lack access to traditional sources of capital.  The Animas Foundation, as approved trustees of Kiva Zip, will facilitate these business start-ups with no-interest, crowd-based, micro-funding and a no-cost strong business mentoring program to assure the success of each enterprise. These interest-free loans are based on an individuals strength of character and standing in the community, not on credit rating or lack of collateral.
