JFGV 2008 Annual Report


Rising to the challenge It is no surprise or secret that 2008 was a challenging year on many fronts. We began the year celebrating a record achievement in the 2007 Annual Campaign of $7.5 million, but closed out our 2008 campaign with a 4% decline in the face of the economic downturn. We sang and danced last spring in celebration of Israel’s 60th anniversary, but rang out the year with Israel’s southern region under extensive rocket attacks before and during Operation Cast Lead.

Pillar 1 Collaborative Community Planning Jewish Federation works with our partner agencies and community leaders to identify new and emerging needs, prioritize key directions and recommend effective responses. Through a variety of approaches including planning think tanks, community research, agency relations and specialized reports, Federation serves as a resource and catalyst, supporting and assisting volunteer leaders and community professionals as they respond to changing times and the growing diversity of the community.

Food Bank: Volunteers pack food hampers with fresh fruit to supplement kosher non-perishable goods at the Jewish Food Bank. 14% of our community lives in poverty, and hundreds of our community members accessed the Jewish Food Bank in 2008 (left). Official opening of Dany Guincher House May 2008: The official opening of Dany Guincher House, our community’s first affordable housing project for those at risk of homelessness, was made possible by a generous gift from the Guincher family, in memory of Dany who died in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Their gift enabled Tikva Housing Society to obtain matching funding through BC Government’s Provincial Homeless Initiative, and other community donors provided the necessary start-up capital and remaining dollars required to secure the property (right).

Pillar 2 Financial Resource Development Federation generates the financial resources to support community needs, and build programs and services. Through collaborative community planning we identify our community’s needs, and through financial resource development Federation raises the funds to make possible the programs and services that address those needs. Federation has a multi-faceted approach to financial resource development: 1. Federation Annual Campaign; 2. Special campaigns and unique funding opportunities to address critical needs; 3. Endowment funds through the Jewish Community Foundation to provide a permanent base of support for the community.

Hillel: Through creative and effective programming, Hillel engaged more than 1,000 students at UBC, SFU and UVic during a year in which anti-Israel activities became more prevalent on Canadian campuses (right).

Southern Israel Relief Fund: Our community raised $75,000 through the Southern Israel Relief Fund for special projects in Beersheva and S’derot, two of the communities most affected by rocket attacks from Gaza during Operation Cast Lead (left). A lifelong plan: In 2007, Robert and Marilyn Krell established their field of interest fund to provide camperships to Camp Miriam with a gift of securities and cash. As Marilyn says, “We want to strengthen Jewish identity by enabling children to attend Camp Miriam.” Rob explains, “It’s also a wonderful way for them to forge lifelong connections to Israel” (right).

Endowment Funding through the Jewish Community Foundation The Jewish Community Foundation is Federation’s endowment program. The Foundation administers individual and institutional funds, the capital of which is derived from bequests, cash donations and gifts of life insurance. Grants are distributed from the income generated by the investment of funds and provide permanent resources to support a broad range of community programs and services. This year, nearly $1 million in grants from the Foundation’s restricted and unrestricted funds were distributed in our local community and in Israel.

Pillar 4 Israel and Overseas Connections Federation is our community’s connection to Israel. Whether it’s providing funding the education and social services projects we fund in the Upper Galilee Panhandle region, the training and resettlement of new immigrants, or responses to emerging needs, Federation is our community’s link to Israel. Federation also provides critical rescue and relief funds for Jewish communities in over 60 other countries overseas. Here in Canada, Federation funds organizations that advocate on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people.
