One System to Run Your Entire Gemach

From the moment someone applies for a loan to the day it's paid back — applications, lending, banking, donations, reporting, and the books. All in one place, all in sync.

Everything That Needs You — First Thing

Open Mitzvah Manager and it tells you exactly what needs attention today: checks to deposit, overdue payments, bounced items, applications waiting, and transactions to post. Below that, your live available-to-lend balance and your real impact.

Online Loan Applications & E-Signatures

Stop chasing paper. Borrowers apply and sign online — you review and approve in one click.

Loan application review queue
Applications queue — review, then approve.
Apply & sign online

From application to approved loan, without the paperwork

Send a secure application link by email (or share it directly) — applicants don't need a login. They fill out the form and sign electronically. Every submission lands in your review queue.

  • Secure public apply links, no account required
  • Built-in e-signatures (powered by DocuSeal)
  • Approving an application auto-creates the borrower and the loan
  • Build your own loan-agreement document and customize the application form

A Complete Bank Register — Not Just Reconciliation

Connect your bank and every transaction flows into a running register. Classify each line in one move and your books always match the bank.

Classify any transaction in a single click

Click any line in the register and a shelf slides out. Tell it who the money belongs to — a borrower loan, a tzaddik, a donor, a vendor expense, a transfer, or a bank fee — and the row reconciles to Done. Keyboard shortcuts and auto-advance let you clear a whole day in minutes.

  • Three clear statuses: Bank pending, Needs review, Done
  • Reconcile straight from a CSV or OFX bank statement
  • Multiple bank accounts, each with its own available-to-lend balance
  • Checks, deposit batches, disbursements, and bounced checks — all in one place

Bounced checks

Bounced checks, handled start to finish

An NSF check isn't just a flag — it's a case. Post the bounce to the borrower's loan, add an NSF fee, notify the borrower by email or text, then apply their replacement payment when it clears. The case closes itself once the balance is covered.

  • Open and Resolved/History queues for every returned check
  • Optional NSF fee posted to the loan automatically
  • Partial replacement payments tracked to a remaining balance

Scan Them In, Print Them Out

AI-Powered

Scan checks with your camera

Point your phone at a check and AI reads the amount, check number, routing, and account number. Scan them one at a time or in a batch.

Checkwriter

Print disbursement checks

Issue loans by printing checks with your payor details and signers, then track each one as outstanding, cleared, voided, or stopped.

Post-dated

Held-check tracking

That drawer of post-dated checks becomes a dashboard — deposit-by dates, overdue alerts, and reminders sent before each deposit.

Lenders, Donors, and Payees — Kept Straight

Mitzvah Manager keeps three relationships separate so your books make sense: repayable contributions, outright donations, and the vendors you pay.

Tzaddikim management
Tzaddikim — repayable capital vs. donated.
Tzaddikim (Lenders)

Every contributor, fully tracked

See what each tzaddik has contributed, what's been returned, what they've donated, and their current repayable balance — with full transaction history and term notes.

Donor management
Donors — with lifetime totals and receipts.
Donors

Donations, separate from your fund's capital

Track individual and organizational donors, record donations manually or automatically from bank activity, and deliver donation receipts — automatically once a donation is reconciled.

Recipients and payees
Recipients — your operating expenses.
Recipients (Payees)

Your own expenses, categorized

Track the vendors and utilities the Gemach pays so outgoing transactions in the register are classified correctly — real bookkeeping, not just loan tracking.

Loan Health

Loan Health Center

Diagnose delinquency and data issues before they become problems — healthy vs. stale vs. no-schedule — with one-click fixes so overdue tracking and forecasts stay accurate.

Email & SMS

Automatic reminders — by text, too

Payment and deposit reminders send themselves, by email or SMS (with consent). Every message is logged in one place with delivery status.

Forecast

Cash-flow forecasting

See projected available funds based on scheduled repayments and check deposits, so you know when you can say yes to the next loan.

Loan Health Center
Loan Health Center — diagnose and fix.
Communications, logged

Every message, on the record

A unified communications log shows every email and text you've sent — recipient, type, and delivery status — with export for your records. No more wondering whether a reminder actually went out.

Board-Ready Reports and Real Books

Twenty reports across your fund, borrowers, lenders, checks, and operations — plus a genuine Chart of Accounts and a QuickBooks-style General Ledger.

Reports catalog
20 reports, filtered by date, borrower, or lender.
Reporting

The numbers your board and accountant want

Fund Summary, Monthly Activity, Year-End, Active Loans, Overdue, Loan Aging, Payment Collection, Co-Signer Activity, Tzaddik statements, held-check and NSF reports, cash-flow projections, document compliance — and more.

  • Export every report to CSV or PDF
  • QuickBooks (IIF) export where it applies
  • Historical "as-of" snapshots for year-end balances
Chart of Accounts
Chart of Accounts + General Ledger.
Real accounting

A Chart of Accounts and General Ledger

Run the register in simple buckets or with full Chart-of-Accounts numbers, and generate a QuickBooks-style General Ledger with debits, credits, and running balances. Serious books for a serious fund.

Investor portal mapping
Give a lender a login to their own statement.
Investor / Lender Portal

Let your lenders see their own money

Map a viewer login to a single tzaddik so a lender can log in and see only their own contributions and balance. Transparency that builds the trust your fund runs on.

Security settings
2FA, session timeout, delete-safety.
Security & roles

Real controls over who can do what

Require two-factor authentication, set session timeouts, and require typed confirmation before anything is deleted. Invite your team with role-based access — Owner, Admin, Member/Operator, and Viewer.

  • Two-factor authentication (TOTP)
  • Borrower privacy mode — volunteers see "Borrower #1234"
  • Bank-level connections via Plaid; encrypted, backed up daily
