The Highest Form of Charity is to Help People Help Themselves
The Hebrew Free Loan Society of Greater Philadelphia provides interest-free loans to members of the Philadelphia Jewish community. Borrowers must live in the Philadelphia area (including some parts of South Jersey). Credit-worthy co-signers are required for all loans.
Our loan funds include (but are not limited to) an Education Fund, the Be a Family Fertility Fund,and a Life Cycle Fund. We also offer loans to help start a new business or refocus an existing business. Business loans are available to both Jews and non-Jews.
We celebrated our 30th anniversary on September 10, 2014.
Our loans are funded entirely from donations. Payments from borrowers are returned to our loan fund, so the same dollars can be recycled many times.
Hebrew Free Loan Societies are based on the Biblical injunction "If you lend money to My people, to the poor among you, do not act towards them as a creditor; exact no interest from them." (Exodus 22:24)
