Community Initiative

In an effort to keep art collecting accessible to all in the community and connect with the mission of sharing joy and light with the community; artist Kayla Stikeleather has dedicated all sales for 2025 to be reinvested into the community through Kiva micro-loans. 

These prints are not numbered and do not have other printing options. They are created digitally and do not have a canvas original. An on-demand art poster will never have a canvas or numbered print option. This allows all other work to retain and gain value while also providing pieces that are more accessible in pricing.

Kayla believes that all people should have the opportunity to own and display art that brings joy and light into their lives and homes. 

How does it work?

1.) You buy a piece of art.

2.) All net-profit goes into a micro-loan for a others aiming to improve their lives. 

3.) The loan is processed through a trusted bank and 100% of the loan (no fees) is dispersed.

4.) The approved person receives the loan and makes payments back to the bank.

5.) The bank gives payments by to the lender. 

Why micro-loans?

Micro-loans provide the opportunity for people in need to improve their lives through their skills.  This provides dignity, empowerment, and belief. All of which change communities! A mix of domestic and international micro-loans will be selected through the Kiva platform.

Accountability

A quarterly report will be posted at the end of every quarter and all micro-loan receipts will be listed in a blog article. This way those from the community can pray and uplift them and their business. 

Goal

My goal is to raise $100,000 in the next 5 years to go towards micro-loans. The hope is that this program becomes self-sufficient and all money invested into the micro-loans will continue to support new people and communities as loans are repaid. So, that by the end of 5 years, there will be $100,000 in consistent motion, helping others around the world one payment at a time.
