How to Grant
Making a grant to a Canadian registered charity through your Fund is an easy process, and the Jewish Foundation team is always here to help.
How do I recommend a grant?
You may recommend a grant in one of the following ways:
1. Directly contact your philanthropic advisor at the Jewish Foundation.
2. Use the form on our Donor Portal*.
Once we have verified the organization’s charitable status and completed other due diligence work, we will issue the grant to the organization.
Grants are approved and processed on a bi-monthly basis.
*Please note that access to the donor portal is being rolled out through the summer and fall of 2024. Once you receive the registration email, please sign up to make a grant recommendation. If you do not have access to the donor portal yet, please contact your philanthropic advisor.
Who you can support through your Fund
We are a public foundation and a registered charity and as such we can provide grants to qualified recipients as defined by Canadian Revenue Agency. This list includes:

Is your grant supporting an event, a scholarship or a membership at an organization? Certain government rules may apply.
