With an interest-free loan you would be providing the Venezie Institute with the necessary capital for its major projects and you would, at the same time, be donating the interest on this capital. However, unlike a one-off donation, you would never lose your capital as it would be returned to you at the end of the agreed period.

What Is an Interest-Free Loan?
Using formal language, an interest-free loan consists in granting the Venezie Institute "the right to use a portion of your capital for a set period of time". Practically, you will be making a revocable transfer of funds to the Venezie Institute.
In the event you have a need for these funds (or for any other reason), the Institute will return them to you at any time upon demand.

What will the Venezie Institute Do with Your Funds?
The Institute can invest your funds and use the interest earned to fund its operating expenses - in other words, you will be donating to the Institute the interest earned by the capital you loaned us. Or the Institute can use your loan to undertake major projects and activities. In this case, you will be providing the Institute with an ideal alternative to borrowing from lending institutions, as we will not be paying any interest on the capital loaned.

What Are the Benefits to You?
As the donor, you will have the benefit of making a meaningful contribution to our mission without any loss of capital.

Is the Loan Temporary?
Yes, it is. As mentioned, the loan is revocable. In other words, if you have a need for these funds (or for any other reason) we will return them to you at any time upon demand.
However, some donors may decide for the loan to be of unlimited duration and with the potential for a bequest of the funds to the Institute. While it is not required, a donor can in fact choose to bequeath the loan to the Venezie Institute at her/his death.
