My memory and google-fu are both failing me. I'm trying to remember for a friend the name of a kind of quasi-charity organization that does small loans (or grants, maybe?) for people in short-term emergencies. →[More:]I know I've seen it on mefi and/or askme, but I just can't quite find it. Help?

YES! Thank you! I kept thinking "small favors," but I knew that was rong! Merci buckets, my dear.

(er, WRONG. Rong is... wrong.)

So this is in the realm of micro loans?

More like micro grants. But if you want to treat them as loans, you can pay it forward by underwriting.
Something like that.
