When people search for how to donate to Chabad, they usually picture writing one check to one Chabad house. DollarDaily works differently: daily givers each contribute one dollar, and the pooled total goes to a different Chabad-Lubavitch community every single day of the year — from campus Chabad houses in America to shluchim rebuilding Jewish life in Ukraine, Africa and beyond.
One dollar. Every day. A year of giving reaches 365 different communities — places most donors would never have found on their own.

How DollarDaily works
One community receives the day
The pooled daily gifts support a named Chabad House or Jewish community.

Read recipient storiesWhere your Chabad donation actually goes
Every day has a named recipient on our public recipient calendar. The day's pooled donations go to that day's Chabad house or community project, and the impact map shows every place your dollars have reached — hundreds of communities across dozens of countries.
Recipients apply through a fund-request process, so each day of giving answers a real, current need: a mikvah under construction, a Hebrew school stipend, a community kitchen, a shliach getting through a hard season.
Why daily giving beats one big check
A dollar a day is tzedakah the way the Rambam describes it at its best — given constantly, so the habit of giving shapes the giver. It also spreads your support across the whole Chabad-Lubavitch world instead of concentrating it in one place, and it gives every recipient a day when the entire DollarDaily community shows up for them at once.
Why Chabad Houses need direct support
A local Chabad House is responsible for raising the money needed to serve its own community. There is no automatic central operating budget that pays every Shliach a salary or covers every center’s rent, programming and family needs.
DollarDaily gives donors a practical way to stand behind communities beyond their own city. The daily schedule spreads support across large centers and small outposts while keeping every recipient visible.
How a community reaches the calendar
Shluchim submit a fund request describing their organization and present need. DollarDaily reviews the request before an approved community is scheduled for a day of pooled giving.
Afterward, the community remains visible through the recipient calendar, impact map and related stories. Donors can see a real name and place instead of being asked to trust an anonymous destination.

Frequently asked questions
How do I donate to Chabad through DollarDaily?
Join with a $1-a-day pledge — about $30 a month — charged automatically to your card or PayPal. Your dollars join the daily pool that goes to each day's featured Chabad community. You can also make a one-time donation of any amount.
Which Chabad houses receive the money?
A different one every day. The recipient calendar publishes who receives each day's pool, and the impact map shows every community supported so far — hundreds of Chabad-Lubavitch locations across dozens of countries.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes — you receive a receipt for every charge, and a year-end summary for tax season.
Can I stop my daily pledge whenever I want?
Yes. Pledges can be paused or canceled anytime from your account — no calls, no questions asked.
Does Chabad headquarters pay every local rabbi?
Local Chabad Houses generally raise their own operating support. DollarDaily helps donors reach Shluchim and communities that may not have access to a large local donor base.
Can a Chabad House apply to receive a day?
Yes. Eligible Shluchim can use the Request Funds page to submit their organization and current need for review.
