JIFLA is such an incredible organization and gift to the Jewish Atlanta community. They provide a fantastic opportunity for individuals to access needed funds without adding an additional stressor. The community loan partnerships they've created are also wonderful to see between organizations. Thank you, JIFLA!

I have known about Jewish interest free lending, and when JIFLA began in Atlanta I began volunteering when it was but one year old. The organization strives to accommodate Jewish applicants, or those married to a Jewish spouse, by providing personal loans at the best rate possible -- zero! Lending limits have grown, along with bill consolidation lending. Loans to young people, without using a guarantor, are a growing area. When Covid-19 suddenly had many not working, JIFLA was able to make loans to carry these people through this frightening time.

Community funds are raised, and I am very proud of how these assist people in need. Loan repayments are recycled to the next borrower.

JIFLA treats their applicants and borrowers with respect and care, going out of their way to guide all applicants to whatever outside assistance can help their situation. With the goal of providing interest-free loans as temporary assistance towards long term stability, JIFLA also offers financial planning and review to help their borrowers take control of their finances and continue to make good decisions moving forward.

JIFLA's culture is so caring. I am a volunteer, and the focus is 100% on how to help people. I also love the flexibility exhibited in finding ways to help people.
