Donor Information

A donation to JFLT is the perfect gift that keeps on giving

A donation to JFLT can provide assistance both immediately, and far into the future. How? Every dollar that is donated to JFLT is loaned out, repaid, and then loaned out again, effectively renewing your contribution in perpetuity. A donation your grandparents might have given decades ago will still be providing direct assistance today, helping individuals and families navigate challenging times, invest in their futures, and achieve lasting stability.

For Example:

DONATIONRENEWED OVER 5 YEARSRENEWED OVER 20 YEARS
$1,800$4,050$10,800
$18,000$40,500$108,000
$180,000$400,500$1,080,000

 

JFLT’s interest-free loans have a transformative impact on peoples’ lives. Think about the couple with two children and a newborn who get a loan that pays down their arrears and halts their eviction. Think about the new immigrant who gets a loan to pursue an employment training program. Think about the student who would not have graduated without a loan that covered their final year tuition. Think about the couple who used their loan to bring a new Jewish life into this world. These are not idle examples. These are actual loans we have given. It is safe to say that very few charities have such a direct and immediate impact on peoples’ lives, and fewer still can continue providing this kind of assistance in perpetuity. 

Ways to Give:

SPOTLIGHT ON SOME OF OUR MAJOR DONORS AND SUPPORTERS

THE AZRIELI FOUNDATION

JFLT extends its heartfelt thanks to the Azrieli Foundation for its support. This support is the mainstay of the organization, as it can be used for operations as well as loan allocation. We are forever grateful to the Azrieli Foundation for coming to our aid in our time of need.

 

THE BARANKIN FAMILY FUND IN MEMORY OF FROIM BARANKIN

Dr. Ben Barankin is an exceptionally perceptive donor who not only established a fund for people born in the former USSR, but also gave JFLT $75,000 for operations. We are extremely grateful to the Barankin Family for its generosity. We are also thankful to Ben’s mother- Dr. Tatyana Barankin who took time out of her busy schedule to serve on our Board of Directors.

 

THE EMMET FOUNDATION FUND FOR HEALTH CARE AND CRITICAL NEEDS

The Tylman Family established The Emmet Foundation Fund for Health Care and Critical Needs to help the most vulnerable in our Community. Loans from this Fund go to people who are sick, people who need urgent dental care, people who live on or below the poverty line and people who face some kind of personal emergency. Thanks to the Tylman Family’s generosity, a great need in the Community is being filled and individuals who otherwise would not have access to resources are receiving the care they need.

 

THE HARRY AND MALKA ROSENBAUM EMPLOYMENT READINESS FUND

As part of their visionary gift to the United Jewish Appeal’s social service sector, Harry and Malka Rosenbaum allocated $200,000 to JFLT to establish an employment readiness fund. We immediately felt a true need had been identified and met. We were right! The Fund has already supported a variety of loans – in particular, loans to people who are pursuing careers, upgrading work skills and purchasing equipment for businesses. This fund embodies the very essence of JFLT’s mandate. We are thankful to Harry and Malka for understanding this and for empowering people to help themselves.

 

THE KORA FUND

Helen Zukerman identified an essential need when she established the Kora Fund for First and Last month’s rent. Thanks to Helen’s foresight new immigrants, abused women and many other people in dire need of rent deposits are able to access the funds they need to begin a new life.

 

THE UJA FEDERATION

Jewish Free Loan Toronto extends its heartfelt thanks to UJA Federation of Greater Toronto for annually supporting the needs of our Agency.
