We're laser focused on helping Jewish families get back on their feet. We're nimble, we care, yet we don't enable. We focus on ROI and implement smart chesed.
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.
These eight are drawn from the 303 households Collective Kindness has worked with. Each card shows the household's intake and offboarding P&L, pulled from real case-manager records. Names have been changed for privacy; the two-sentence summary on each card is an AI distillation of those same notes.
Organized debt, raised income, restructured work situation. Cash flow held positive since.
Brought spouses together, maxed income, negotiated tuition. Now cash-flow positive without family support.
Therapy, job placement, budget coaching resolved dynamics and opened savings room.
Built structured budget, reorganized bill management, enrolled in DMP, connected to IRS resources.
Stabilized income source and built realistic budget around new reality.
Patient work on budgeting, debt restructuring with balance transfer, sustained cash-flow positive.
Brought both spouses into budgeting, therapy support, opened income paths.
Financial coaching with therapy, business launch support, rebuilt money communication.
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.
Each card is one anonymized family in Kosher Debt Help, drawn from the active CRM. Numbers are real. Names have been changed.
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 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 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.
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.
Every family above is one we never want to see in crisis again. Every dollar funds the case management, coaching, debt counseling, and long quiet work that gets the next family there. Designate to a specific program, or trust us to put it where it’s needed most.
