It is the relationship and trust between the Jewish Foundation’s experienced team of professionals, selfless volunteers, our donors and visionaries that create the unprecedented impact shown through the multitude of organizations benefiting from our philanthropic dollars.   

Over the last fiscal year some your participation has allowed the Jewish Foundation to distribute over $15   million throughout Greater Toronto, Canada, Israel and around the world, benefiting over 200 worthy organizations.

 

Thi s year 37   new permanent funds were established, bringing our total number of funds to over 500.    As well, our planned gifts have increased totaling an overall commitment of more than $160 million by   individuals and families through bequests, life insurance policies, annuities, etc.   

What a testament to our generous and compassionate donors and volunteers who realize that in challenging times, philanthropy is more important than ever. Your confidence and commitment to the important work of the Jewish Foundation is truly awe-inspiring.   

There are so many opportunities to effectively utilize dollars today, ensuring a meaningful legacy and commitment for a prosperous tomorrow. Together we can make the difference
