Dollar Daily is so much more than just a fundraising platform. Sure, we are honored to be able to help Chabad shluchim all over the world with their personal finances, but Dollar Daily is all about being there for each other and appreciating that when we work together, our small contributions can actually have a huge impact.
While having a Chabad presence in remote parts of the country and even some of the most far-flung outposts of the world is something that most of us take for granted, shluchim and their wives are self-supporting. They receive no paycheck for their services or organizational funding to cover any of their expenses, leaving many facing daunting realities including having to shoulder the cost of importing kosher food and other necessities and traveling for hours or even flying to the nearest mikvah.
Inspired by the success of DailyGiving.org, DollarDaily was founded by Yosef Shidler to make supporting shluchim simple, steady, and accessible to everyone.
With early support from Yad L’Shliach and COLLive, DollarDaily encouraged people to join a daily-giving movement by donating just one dollar a day. Each day, a different shliach or Chabad center is featured to receive the funds collected through the site.
As DollarDaily grew, the project entered a new stage with the guidance of a Shluchim Vaad, and with support through Machne Israel. Together, this next stage is focused on strengthening the systems behind the project, improving the process, and helping DollarDaily grow in a more organized and reliable way.
One dollar may feel small on its own, but when many people give together, those small contributions become meaningful support.
Join DollarDaily and help shluchim around the world continue spreading the light of Torah and Yiddishkeit.
