We're a nonprofit that provides interest-free loans to help Jewish individuals in Northern California overcome financial challenges and pursue life dreams. Loans are also available to those in Northern California who meet one of the following criteria, regardless of religious background:. Hebrew Free Loan is a founding member of the International Association of Jewish Free Loans (IAJFL).
The year was 1897. Nine members of San Francisco's small but long-established Jewish community gathered in a small synagogue South of Market Street. Their task - to develop an ongoing plan to help Jewish immigrants to San Francisco build new lives. Guided by the interest-free lending mandate in the Torah, these nine founding members pledged to start a loan fund by contributing 25 cents every month.
For the past 30 years, Cindy has worked in fundraising and non-profit management within the San Francisco Jewish community. She joined Hebrew Free Loan in 2003 when she was hired as the agency's first Development Director.
In that capacity, she managed both fundraising and marketing activities for the agency, expanding Hebrew Free Loan's reach into the community so that more people could have the opportunity to become self-sufficient and realize their dreams.In 2010, she became the Associate Director and assumed responsibility for our loan program.

This is such a wonderful organization!!!
I can't say enough about them! I won't go into all the details about why I needed a loan, but suffice it to say, it was important. I was so pleased to see that they truly regarded the situation as important as I did. They were thoughtful and kind and acted fast.
These are folks who really care. And they are such professionals too. Five stars? These guys deserve ten!
