Shluchim Grants, Funded a Dollar at a Time
Every single day, DollarDaily awards a community grant: the day's pooled $1-a-day donations, given in full to one Chabad house that applied for it. Over a year, that's 365 grants reaching shluchim on every continent.
This page is for both sides of that grant — shluchim who need funding, and donors who want to know their tzedakah answers real applications, not guesswork.
For shluchim: how to receive a grant
Apply through the Request Funds page with your Chabad house's details and what the funding is for. Approved requests are scheduled onto the recipient calendar; on your community's day, the full daily pool goes to you, your story is shared with the whole DollarDaily community, and your community joins the impact map permanently.
There is no application fee and reapplying in future seasons is welcome.
For donors: grants with a name and a face
Every grant DollarDaily gives is public: the calendar names the recipient, the amount reflects that day's real pool, and IllumiNations tells the stories of the communities your dollars reached. Grant-making usually happens behind closed doors; here it happens every day, in the open.
Frequently asked questions
How big is a daily grant?
The day's grant equals that day's pooled giving, which grows as more people join the $1-a-day movement. The recipient calendar shows actual daily amounts.
Who is eligible to apply?
Chabad shluchim serving a community — a Chabad house, campus, mikvah, school or community project. Apply through the Request Funds page.
How are grant days chosen?
Fund requests are reviewed and scheduled onto the recipient calendar, balancing urgency, geography and season so the year of giving reaches the whole Chabad world.
Can donors direct a grant to a specific cause?
The daily pool goes to the day's scheduled recipient, keeping the system fair. Donors who want to honor someone can dedicate a day, and larger directed gifts can be discussed with our team.
