Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver

Watch our Federation Annual Campaign video.

Annual Campaign Focuses on Impact. The Federation Annual Campaign is gaining momentum every day. Its focus is how each one of us can make an impact - and how Jewish Federation amplifies your impact.

The most significant demographic shift in our society since WWII is underway. In 2031, the youngest of the Baby Boomer generation will turn 65. From today onward, our population will age at an accelerating rate, bringing complex changes with it. Is our community prepared to face these changes successfully?

The impact of our work spans the full breadth of our local community – and the Jewish world. We are the closest federated community to Jewish communities in the eastern most part of Russia, adjacent to Siberia.

We are very pleased to share that our partner, Tikva Housing, was recently selected by the City of Vancouver to manage 37 new affordable rental units in partnership with YWCA Metro Vancouver and the Association of Neighbourhood Houses of British Columbia.

Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver is committed to supporting a broad range of social, cultural, educational and philanthropic initiatives to engage young adults and nurture their interest in and commitment to Jewish communal life.

The Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver (JCC) and Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver have agreed to collaborate on the proposed JCC site redevelopment plan, which is expected to result in a new multigenerational community centre and a mixed-use rental housing project in the rapidly growing Oakridge neighbourhood.
