The Foundation exists to help ensure Jewish life in British Columbia remains strong, vibrant, and resilient for generations to come.
Every fund contributes to a shared commitment: building a community that can thrive not only today, but well into the future.
Whether you're passionate about education, social services, healthcare, the arts, Israel, or Jewish community life, you decide where your support goes. We are neutral by design, with no preference for any particular cause or organization. Our role is simply to help you give in a way that reflects your values.
Grants can be directed to any registered Canadian charity, whether Jewish or secular, local, national, or in Israel. Donor anonymity is fully protected, and there is no minimum amount required to open a fund.
One gift.
One tax receipt.
Flexible grantmaking.
We take care of investment management, reporting, compliance, and grant administration, making charitable giving simple, efficient, and stress-free. You can focus on the impact you want to make while we handle the details.
The Foundation's assets are pooled and professionally managed by a global institutional investment manager, with oversight from an experienced volunteer Investment Committee and a disciplined payout policy.
For donors who choose an endowment fund, the capital is invested in perpetuity, while a portion of the income is granted each year to support the causes they care about. It's a powerful way to create meaningful impact today and establish a legacy that continues into the future.
Families often use their funds to involve children and grandchildren in giving, creating opportunities to share values and build a culture of philanthropy across generations.
Jewish agencies, congregations, schools, and community organizations establish endowment funds with the Foundation to gain professional investment management and a dependable source of annual funding. Corporations can also work with the Foundation to achieve their charitable and community investment goals.
