🌉 Fund the bridge · Two ways
Lend vs Donate.
Both put your capital to work holding up families. One is a gift that revolves forever. The other comes back to you in three years — after helping people every single day it was away.
💛 Donate
A gift that never stops giving
- Any amount — $25 to $25 million, every dollar joins the lending pool
- Tax-deductible now — full deduction in the year you give (stocks and real estate too)
- Revolves forever — Loaned, repaid, and Loaned again, family after family, for as long as VIGA exists
- Name it — larger gifts can open a named Living Fund with its own dashboard
🏦 Lend
Zero interest · 3 years · then paid back to you
- $25,000 minimum to $250,000 max - ideal size $100,000 — Loaned to VIGA at 0% for a 3-year term under a simple loan agreement
- Impact reporting — regular reporting shows the families the pool is helping
- Paid back to you — your full principal is returned at the end of the 3-year term
- Shared risk, honestly — you agree to absorb a share of any loan losses; that loss may be taken as a deduction, and you can convert any part to a donation anytime
How lending works
Four steps. Three years. Every dollar accounted for.
Call us
A conversation, then a short loan agreement: your amount ($25,000 minimum to $250,000 max - ideal size $100,000), 0% interest, 3-year term, and the loss-sharing terms — all in plain English.
Fund by wire
Your capital joins the lending pool and starts bridging emergencies — typically within days.
Follow the impact reporting
Regular reporting on the pool’s work: families helped, repayments coming in, dollars recycled.
Maturity — you are paid back
At three years your principal is paid back to you, less any agreed share of loan losses — which may be deductible. Or roll it for another term, or convert to a gift. Your call.

Repayment rate
Illustrative example — impact reporting begins with the first lending cycle. Honest numbers always, including any loans in hardship.
Your savings can hold up a hundred families — and still be paid back to you.
This is how the global zero-interest movement grew: ordinary people lending the pool their capital, interest-free. Dignity performs — 99%+ repayment worldwide.
