Kiva.org, the online organization that allows individuals to invest in development micro-loans around the world, is open to working with credit unions lending projects in the U.S., the organization said.

Kiva has already partnered with ASI Federal Credit Union, a  73,000-member community development credit union that serves the greater New Orleans area and funded 14 loans to New Orleans entrepreneurs.
