About Jewish Federation of Winnipeg:

Jewish Federation of Winnipeg is a 2-star rated charity. It has a below average result reporting grade and its overhead spending is within Ci’s reasonable range. The charity has $3.8m in reserve funds, which can cover just over nine months of annual program costs. 

Founded in 1938, Jewish Federation of Winnipeg (JFW) is a public foundation created to operate as the representative body of the Winnipeg Jewish Community. JFW acts on behalf of the Jewish community and supports the State of Israel. It works according to Jewish values to maintain a strong and united community and provide culture, religious practice and welfare for Jews in Winnipeg. The charity grants to 12 local agencies, five national and international programs and various Federation Funded Initiatives. 

Of the $3.1m in grants to local agencies in F2022, $1.0m was allocated to Gray Academy of Jewish Education, $935k to Jewish Child and Family Services, and $540k to Rady Jewish Community Centre. The charity's other $1.8m in grants went to the Winnipeg Board of Jewish Education ($1.1m), the Jewish Federations of Canada ($525k) and other third parties.

The Federation Funded Initiatives includes the PJ Library/PJ Our Way, GrowWinnipeg and Hillel Winnipeg. In 2022, 980 children and their families received PJ Library and PJ Our Way books each month. The charity provided a Chanukah pack to 15 families whose children do not attend Jewish Day School. One of the international programs, Partnership 2Gether, links six Canadian communities with regions of Israel.
