A Loan for SerVivo
Together. For art. For nature. For generations.
We’ve been given the opportunity to buy part of the land where SerVivo is based for €70,000 by October 1st, 2025.
If you’re looking for a safe, ethical, and still profitable way to invest your savings — instead of leaving them dormant in a bank account or supporting questionable equity funds — this is your chance to make a real impact.
To raise this amount in such a short time, we’re seeking individuals who can support us by offering a private loan between €5,000 and €20,000 over a period of 3 to 5 years, with an interest rate of up to 3% p.a.
Why Do We Need
Your Financial Support?
In 2021, we founded the SerVivo Cooperative and, with the help of private loans and generous donations, managed to purchase 50% of the property – 1.5 hectares of land with multiple buildings — at a value of €127,500.
The other 50% remained in the hands of a local bank, due to a complex ownership structure. Now, four years later, the bank has offered us the exclusive opportunity to buy the remaining half for €70,000. As legal co-owners and residents of the property, we have the preemptive right to purchase before it goes on the open market.
However, this option expires on October 1st, 2025 — so we urgently need to raise the funds by that date to secure full ownership and ensure our autonomy and long-term sustainability.
How Can
You Help?
We’re looking for supporters willing to grant us private loans between €5,000 and €20,000 for 3 to 5 years, with an annual interest rate of 0–3%, depending on your expectations and capacity to support.
We also accept shorter-term loans (minimum 12 months), although longer terms are preferred as they support repayment while allowing us to invest in infrastructure.
Alternatively, instead of receiving interest, you may choose to be compensated with a stay at SerVivo, free of charge (conditions to be discussed individually).
All loans will be formalized with:
- A written contract
- Fixed conditions
- Legal enforceability under ordinary jurisdiction
How Will We Repay You?
We will continue generating income through our regular events and programs. Additionally, we are already receiving significant EU funding via the European Solidarity Corps, which supports both cultural work and infrastructure development.
These two stable income streams form the basis of our repayment strategy.
In the unlikely event of insolvency, all loans are secured by the property’s total value (estimated at a minimum of €300,000), owned by SerVivo Cooperative.
If you’d rather donate instead of offering a loan — we welcome that, too. However, at this critical moment, we are prioritizing larger long-term loans over smaller donations to meet our urgent funding goal. Of course, you’re welcome to do both.
