HFLA of Northeast Ohio
About us | HFLA began in 1904 with Charles Ettinger, Morris Black, and others who saw the need of providing interest-free loans to the growing immigrant community. They pooled together $501 of their own money to help European Refugees settle in America and lead productive lives. 115 years later the need for non-sectarian interest-free lending remains relevant. Today, HFLA continues to make a large impact in Northeast Ohio through education, personal and small business loans. The organization is set up as a revolving loan fund; money that is paid back monthly is then lent out to other people in the community – recycling dollars in the community, multiplying the impact of each donation tenfold in less than a generation. |
