CORALUS – Coralus

Description:

Coralus brings together hundreds of radically generous women called Activators who contribute $1100 each (or twelve monthly payments of $92) for Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA; or £850 (or twelve monthly payments of £71) for the UK. That money is pooled and then loaned out in the form of 0%-interest 5 year loans to women-led Ventures whom the Activators help select. As the money is paid back into the fund, it’s loaned out again to support more women-led Ventures each year.

Comments on Funding:

Funding takes the form of interest-free loans.

The 0%-interest loan has a five-year term for each Venture. Ventures pay back their loans in 20 quarterly installments over a five year period.
