Adrian Grenier hosts "Fund Rager" for Kiva.org

Kiva.org recently celebrated its second celebrity fundraiser at a sweet little soiree hosted at Entourage star Adrian Grenier’s house. Kevin Connolly (also from Entourage) and Willie Garson from Sex and the City were present.

The event was inspired by Grenier’s book club that recently finished the book called “The End of Poverty.” Motivated to make a difference, the group decided to throw the “Fund Rager” and raise money for Kiva. Kiva is a microfinancing organization that assists small businesses in developing countries stride toward economic independence. 100% of the donations go directly to the loans. Once the loans are paid off, users can re-loan to other businesses in need. It is literally the gift that keeps on giving.

Celebrities like Grenier are leading an important trend of social and eco-consciousness in Hollywood and setting an important example for all to follow. Find out how you can help Kiva spread the word!
