Ways to Give

Single/Monthly Donation

Make a one-time donation, or set up an automatic donation each month.

You may donate in honor or memory of someone special. We will send notification of your generous gift.

Full Circle Club

As a former borrower, you will be recognized as a member of the Full Circle Club when you make a donation. If you have received and repaid a JIFLA Loan, please consider paying it forward to help another person.

Planned Giving

Create a lasting legacy by including JIFLA in your estate plans.  These legacy gifts ensure that JIFLA can continue responding to the ever-changing needs of our Jewish community for generations to come.  Help assure the future of our community with your planned gift to JIFLA.

JIFLA Mitzvah Project

B’nai Mitzvah or confirmation class students donate a portion of their gifts, or raise a small sum to donate to JIFLA, meet with members or directors of JIFLA to learn about the loan programs and how this type of charitable giving fits into the Jewish view of tzedakah, and learn some about basic financial literacy.

Securities

Stocks, bonds or mutual funds that have appreciated in value may be an attractive donation for you under current tax laws.  When you transfer ownership to JIFLA, you receive a charitable income tax dedication to the full extent allowed by law. 

Create a Named Fund

Named Funds offer a way for friends, family members, neighbors, colleagues, and others to commemorate a special event or loved one.  These funds build a meaningful legacy that keeps their memory alive or honors individuals.

Become a Guarantor

Enable a loan with your backing. A guarantor is usually a close friend or relative. While the borrower makes monthly payments, the guarantors will be responsible for repaying the loan if the borrower’s payments are not made.  For loans of $1,000 or less, a guarantor may not be required. 

Make a Tribute Donation

Donate in honor of someone special or to honor someone’s special occasion.

DAF Impact Investing

JIFLA has partnered with Atlanta Jewish Foundation developing new Impact Investing principles. Donor-Advised Funds holders (DAF) are offered an opportunity to serve as a guarantor for JIFLA loans.
