Rent & mortgage
Housing costs, or a gap between one paycheck and the next.
Baltimore · Independent community fund
Help for our
community.
Emergency support for families in Baltimore — decided on the need of the person asking, and nothing else.
What we help with
Some of the reasons
people come to us.
Bar & Bat Mitzvah
A milestone arriving in a month that cannot absorb it.
A wedding
The cost of marrying off a child.
Finding a job
Between jobs, or looking for a way back in.
Credit card debt
Interest compounding faster than you can pay it down.
Something else
Every situation is different. Tell us yours.
Independent by design
We answer to no one
outside this community.
We are a nonprofit, independent of any shul or political group. That independence lets us decide every case on need alone — without the nonsense of politics.
We cannot help with everything, and we will say so straight away if we cannot.
Watch — about the fund, in the words of the people who built it.
Ongoing campaign
$5 every Erev Shabbat.
A standing weekly gift given before Shabbat. On its own it is small. Together it is what keeps the fund ready.
Help us be ready for the
next family who asks.
Donations here fund the loans and support we give to families in this community.
