Since 1895, Hebrew Free Loan has been serving the Jewish community of Metropolitan Detroit by making short-term loans without interest to individuals that have no other means of help. Through donations from generous individuals, Hebrew Free Loan assists with helping men and women achieve financial independence. Our loans enable members of the Jewish community to go to college, adopt children, establish businesses, enjoy a summer camp experience, celebrate weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs or help with an emergency that arises. Hebrew Free Loan is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization participating in community outreach and fundraising; including direct mail, in-person contact, advertising, special events and membership campaigns. There are many ways to support our important service to people in need through our annual giving campaign, the Major Capital Loan Campaign, tributes, general donations, endowments and named funds.
