I've been quite active with Kiva.  I lend through the Nerdfighters group and the LGBT group.

I also have a couple concerns with Kiva - primarily their association with some non-inclusive organization in African countries.  That said, it still seems like a way to decrease world suck.  I'm much less active than I was but I still have money there and lend/relend funds now and then.

I find the groups helpful for information sharing, pointing out loans, etc.

I've also loaned through 5-6 other microlending platforms.  Each has their own challenges so I haven't pulled funds from Kiva to go elsewhere.

If you do set up a group, let me know.  I would play.
