Welcome to Dollar Debt Project
Small dollars. Big Impact
We are building a community-powered movement where small acts of generosity come together to create meaningful fresh starts.
Our idea…
What if $1 became part of something bigger?
One dollar may not pay an entire debt. But when hundreds or thousands of people give together, small contributions can create meaningful assistance for an individual or family experiencing financial hardship.
By bringing together people who are willing to give what they can - even just $1 - we hope to help individuals and families overcome verified debt and move toward a fresh financial start.
Founding Community
Become one of the Founding 500
We are inviting our first 500 supporters to help build a movement proving that generosity does not have to be expensive to be meaningful.
Every dollar contributed by our Founding 500 supporters becomes part of the FIRST debt relief fund.
