Jewish Federations of Canada - UIA is a national Jewish fundraising organization and community planning body which was established in June 1998, as a result of the re-organization of the Jewish Federations of Canada - UIA and the Council of Jewish Federations of Canada. Having fundraising and community development at the core of its objectives, JFC - UIA recognizes its responsibility to support and strengthen Jewish communities across Canada. With responsibility both to Canada and Israel, JFC - UIA looks to raise funds from communities both for local and overseas needs.
