Technically a portemanteau, "loanation" is comprised of the words "loan" and "donation." Loanations are hybrid for-profit/not-for-profit transactions that are at the root of the microfinance and new philanthropy movements. People either lend money directly for charitable causes, or indirectly to donors, who are inclined to leverage their own donations, or simply borrow to donate. Contrarily, a loanor (or "loanator") may borrow at a low rate for a long term, donate all or most of the loan proceeds, and use the applicable tax benefit in a consolidation arrangement that either pays off higher interest yielding debt, or invests the tax benefit to strategically pay off the debt, most often profitably, using the time value of money.
