Strengthening Jewish Edmonton and beyond
The Jewish Federation of Edmonton is committed to building a vibrant, inclusive, and resilient Jewish community—right here in Edmonton, across Alberta, in Israel, and around the world. Through strategic funding, community partnerships, and advocacy, we support programs and initiatives that make a lasting difference.
Strengthening Jewish life and identity
From early childhood education to teen leadership programs, summer camps, and university campus engagement, we help nurture Jewish identity at every stage of life. Our support for local organizations and initiatives ensures that Jewish culture, learning, and values continue to thrive in Edmonton.
Countering antisemitism
We take proactive steps to protect our community and stand against hate. Whether it's enhancing security at Jewish institutions, supporting Jewish students on campus, or working with allies across Edmonton, we are committed to creating a safer, more inclusive society for all.
Caring for people in need
Through our partnerships with local and international Jewish social service agencies, we help provide essential support—such as food assistance, mental health services, and crisis relief—to individuals and families facing hardship. Our work ensures that no one in our community is left behind.
Supporting Israel and global Jewry
We maintain strong relationships with organizations in Israel and Jewish communities around the world. Whether responding to emergencies or supporting long-term development, our efforts help strengthen Jewish life globally and foster meaningful connections between Edmonton and Israel.
Securing our community
Safety and preparedness are essential. We work with community leaders and security experts to ensure Jewish institutions in Edmonton are equipped with the tools and training needed to respond to potential threats and emergencies.
Nurturing our community through philanthropy
Our annual United Jewish Appeal campaign and other philanthropic initiatives empower us to respond to local needs and global challenges. Each year, our allocations committee and board of directors carefully assess priorities to ensure funds are directed where they will have the greatest impact.
