Collective Kindness

Getting families back on their feet, with dignity.

Collective Kindness is wraparound case management for Jewish families in financial distress. Case managers, budgeters, debt experts, career coaches, and therapists working together for the same family. The work is slow, deeply personal, and accountable to one number: are they cash flow positive when we’re done.

We don’t just track dollars. We measure whether the family feels stable, whether their marriage is healthier, whether the kids are calmer. Financial health and emotional health rise together, or neither does. That’s why our work is wraparound, and that’s why it sticks.

Kosher Debt Help

A nonprofit answer to predatory debt relief.

Kosher Debt Help is the only nonprofit, agenda-free credit-card debt program built for the Jewish community. No commissions. No products to sell. We sit on the family’s side of the table, look at the full picture, and walk them through the cheapest path to debt freedom - usually a balance transfer, sometimes a HELOC, occasionally a DMP.

The result, on average: a 23-point APR reduction in the first year.

CK Academy

Impact data still to come.

CK Academy is our financial literacy platform for newlyweds and young families. Cohorts are still in early rollout. Once we have a full graduating class, this is where you'll see what they learned, what they earned, and how much debt they avoided.

Shluchim Thrive

Impact data still to come.

Shluchim Thrive is wraparound financial and emotional support for community outreach leaders. The cohort is small, the work is private, and the metrics are still being defined. We'll publish them here once the first set of families has fully cycled through.

The Right Bet

Impact data still to come.

The Right Bet is our gambling addiction awareness initiative. Outcomes here are measured in months of sobriety, relationships rebuilt, and debts retired. We're building a measurement framework now and will publish results once we have something honest to show.

In the families' own words.

Most of our work stays private. These three families chose to share theirs. Watch to get a snapshot of how we impact families. In the weeds, with dignity.
