Hebrew Free Loan Association (HFLA) of Washington State

Since 1914, HFLA of Washington State provides Jewish individuals and families achieve financial stability with interest-free loans. We help Jews fulfill the mitzvah of helping fellow Jews by providing a hand up, not a handout. As a non-profit organization established by pioneering Jewish immigrants lending to Jews blocked from accessing capital from traditional channels, we extend that legacy into modern times.

You can make a difference—one interest-free loan at a time.

Your support empowers Washingtonians to overcome financial challenges, build stability, and strengthen our communities.
