The $1 That Never Stops Giving

One gift. Lent, repaid, lent again.

Most gifts are spent once. Yours is not. A MAGBIT loan helps a student earn a degree. When it's repaid, it goes back into the fund, and the next student begins. Your gift keeps giving, long after today.

1
Give

You join the fund.

2
Lend

A qualified student borrows, interest-free.

3
Study

They earn their degree and open doors.

4
Repay

And the next student begins.

Your education shouldn't wait.

In Israel, many young people serve their country before they can study. Afterward, too many can't afford to begin. MAGBIT offers interest-free loans at 33 partner universities, so you can focus on your future, not your debt.

Our Story, Since 1990

In 1990, leaders of Los Angeles' Jewish community founded MAGBIT with one belief: no deserving student should be kept from a university education by its cost. Thirty-six years later, that belief has opened doors for generations of students in Israel.
