Dear Erik: We still not have heard from your office on the matter below concerning Kiva.org. Each Tuesday, we will follow up with your office to learn more about Kiva.org's relationship with New York City and how that could impact the NYC Opportunity Fund. We are concerned that Kiva.org and Bank.org have unique differences that may have been impacted by the Opportunity Fund. Warm regards, Gunnar Gunnar Larson xNY.io - Bank.org 917-580-8053 On Fri, Apr 14, 2023, 11:00 AM Gunnar Larson wrote:

Erik:

Over the last three months, xNY.io - Bank.org has been looking to learn more about Kiva.org's relationship with the NYC Small Business Opportunity Fund.

For some reason, we have not received a response.

Would your office have any details on Kiva.org's association with New York City?

Thank you,

Gunnar

Dear Vivi Acosta:

38 days ago, I kindly submitted an inquiry about Kiva.org's relationship with the NYC Small Business Opportunity Fund.

Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Hey there:

Yesterday when I was submitting the pre-application for the NYC Small Business Opportunity Fund I was matched with the NDC Loan Team.

Additionally, I saw a group of other potential services such as Kiva.org.

Can you kindly advise the relationship the NYC Department of Small Business Services has with Kiva.org?

Thank you,

Gunnar Larson
