Well, In April, I wrote to Kiva about the appearance of odd amounts as "remaining" on some loans. Here's part of the reply:

Recently, in an effort to ensure the continuous flow of funds to Kiva's borrowers, we've introduced a new $5 funding option to lenders. Due to this change, you might have noticed that some loans show a less-than $25 'funding to go' value. To ensure such loans don't go unfunded, we are testing a process that allows some lenders to now have the ability to complete that loan in an increment below $25.

All fine and good. The number of such loans has grown. Only problem is that, try as I might, there appears to be no way to apply anything other than $25 increments.

Anyone found an incantation that works?

Had $79 in the Kiva bank so funded 3 loans. All up I've lent over $6.6k

$6.6k is very impressive!

Sounds like a worthy cause to get behind, Helping those in need. Joined and funded some school supplies. Thanks for sharing.

Just discovered this threat, a tad embarrassed it took me so long to read it. The energy and generosity of this team is amazing. What an amazing concept. Will make to time to join if it is still active. Well done to all involved.

I gave up on Kiva about a year ago I suppose.  It is a good cause but I was unable to pick someone that would pay me back.  I just logged in and I have $55 to lend out so will try again.
