Annual Campaign 2023
The 2023 Annual Campaign efforts are being led by Co-chairs Josh Engel and Evelyn Silverman.
There is no investment more powerful for the Jewish community than a gift to the Jewish Federation of Ottawa. Federation is the organization most equipped to tackle the greatest challenges facing the Jewish people locally, nationally and globally.
Our Expansive Reach: Enables us to tap into the full power of local, national and global Jewish communities.
Our Comprehensive Strategy: Enables us to proactively address the wide spectrum of issues affecting the Jewish people
Our Rapid Response: Enables us to rise to unexpected challenges at home and overseas
In 2020, you responded to an immense crisis with immense generosity.
You invested in a focused and proactive plan.
Now, two years later Jewish Ottawa is ready to emerge even stronger.
Federation has identified three main areas of priority as we move forward and transform challenges into opportunities:
NOW WE GO FORWARD
EMPOWERING OUR MOST VULNERABLE
In the last two years, we’ve set the standard for how a community helps its at-risk members.
NOW WE GO FORWARD
COUNTERING ANTISEMITISM
Without new tools to push back against antisemitism, the threat to our community will only grow.
WE GO FORWARD
ENSURING ACCESS TO JEWISH LIFE
AND EDUCATION
Throughout the pandemic, we found ways for everyone to participate in Jewish life and education.
Thank you for helping us chart our way forward — forward in creating a thriving, diverse, and secure Jewish community.
