Jewish Interest-Free Loan Association of Georgia, Inc. (JIFLA) is a small nonprofit based in Atlanta that provides interest-free loans to members of the state's Jewish community. As a 501(c)(3) organization, it serves individuals who may not qualify for traditional financing or for whom conventional loans could create financial hardship. The organization is managed by volunteers and participates in the International Association of Hebrew Free Loans, a global network that supports more than fifty Jewish interest-free loan funds and promotes Gemilut Chesed. Its beneficiaries are members of the Georgia Jewish community seeking affordable, hardship-free financing for essential needs. Recent developments include the Quick Start Loan program launched in 2021, a late-2022 partnership with the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta for free financial coaching, and the late-2023 Maccabees initiative.
