Annual Report 2010 / 2011

Through UJA Federation we all benefit from living in one of the greatest communities in the world and UJA’s Centre for Jewish Philanthropy - the engine that drives UJA Federation – plays an essential role in Jewish Toronto’s vibrancy.  Over the past year, thanks to the unprecedented generosity and vision of our donors, we have been incredibly successful in all streams of fundraising – the Annual Campaign, the Jewish Foundation of Greater Toronto and the Tomorrow Campaign.  From the thousands of stalwart Annual Campaign donors who nurture the community, to those who offer permanent legacies through the Foundation, to the hundreds of individuals whose names have been permanently etched into the fabric of Jewish Toronto through the Tomorrow Campaign, we have seen an eclectic range of philanthropy embraced by many. 

Annual Campaign

United Jewish Appeal’s 2011 Campaign, chaired by Jeff Rosenthal and Sherry Firestone, raised a remarkable $63 million from over 21,000 donors in a bid to strengthen Jewish life and assist Jews in need in Toronto, Israel and around the world. Women’s Philanthropy, chaired by Sarena Koschitzky, raised $9.3 million for the Campaign and continued to engage Jewish women from different backgrounds in impactful and relevant programs.

Jewish Foundation

This past year, the Jewish Foundation of Greater Toronto, UJA Federation’s planned giving and endowment development arm, saw the creation of 58 new funds, bringing the total number of funds to over 660. The Jewish Foundation has secured future planned gifts through bequests, insurance policies, or other vehicles, totaling $186 million.

Tomorrow Campaign

UJA Federation’s $400 million Tomorrow Campaign, an unprecedented Jewish infrastructure initiative, continues to reshape our city’s Jewish skyline. The Tomorrow Campaign is making enormous strides, raising funds to build the infrastructure for our growing community across the GTA.
