Microgrants: Last year, Federation funded more than 50 unique programs through the Jewish Experience Microgrants program, allocating a total of $91,000 to agencies and individuals in support of creative initiatives that build Jewish life in Ottawa.
The PJ Library program is an important on-ramp on to the Jewish Superhighway. Annually, more than 800 children receive PJ Library books across the Ottawa area.
Enriched Jewish education and learning: There is something for every student at day schools, Torah Day, and the Ottawa Jewish Community School, and the Ottawa Torah Institute/Machon Sarah; and supplementary schools Chabad Hebrew School, Ottawa Modern Jewish School, OTT@KBI, Temple Israel Religious School, and Torah High.
Tuition incentive: Federation has launched a two-year tuition incentive for all families raising Jewish children and who are enrolling students for the first time in supplementary schools in the fall of 2023. In the first year, Federation covers $500 of the tuition; for the second year, Federation will cover $250 of the tuition.
