to contribute to the long term financial stability and support of the
needs of the agencies which serve the Ottawa Jewish community.

The Foundation acts as a steward for these gifts and links

Letter from the Chair
Roger Greenberg
As I reach the halfway point in my
two year mandate as Chair of the
Ottawa Jewish Community
Foundation (OJCF), this letter provides an excellent opportunity
to reflect on the achievements of the past year and an outlook on
the year to come.
On another front, we have continued to update our policies so
that we can offer flexibility in working with prospective donors
so that their needs are met. For example, this year we developed
a Flow Through Shares Acceptance Policy and an Intergenerational Transfer of Advisorship Policy so that donors can share in
our transformation towards a more interactive way of operating.
While I am obviously biased in my perspective, during the past
twelve months, I have come to understand even more so how
important the Foundation is to the health of our beloved Ottawa
Jewish community. As our community grows, so too do our
community needs and when I look back over the last year, I can
take great pride, together with our many donors, volunteers and
professional staff, in knowing that our organization’s mission
continues to be met. In 2007, the OJCF distributed in excess of
$2.2 million, over 98% of which went to Jewish agencies. The
growth of our community is a testament of our strength and
dedication to the long-term financial stability and support of the
needs of the groups that serve the Ottawa Jewish Community.
The upcoming year will see much activity on many exciting
initiatives. Under the leadership of Michael Landau, we will be
undertaking our first strategic planning exercise – our goal is to
develop a 3-5 year plan that will help to further guide the
Foundation towards achieving its goals, providing for measurable
targets and structure for the Foundation. A second initiative is
the Book of Life. We will be working to develop a book and/or
online component to honour donors who have given or have
promised to make a gift to the Foundation. It is our intention to
reach out to our donors and thank them for all the support they
have provided us.
This year, the Foundation has seen the continued growth of our
website (www.ojcf.ca) with a steady increase in online donations.
The Foundation also granted the first G.J. Cooper Scholarship
Award to Ariel Goldberg who has displayed leadership qualities,
academic excellence and interest in the Jewish Community. Over
$14,000 will be awarded annually to a worthy individual to assist
them with their formal education or apprenticeship in the artistic,
literary or social sciences. I look forward to seeing many future
individuals benefiting from such a worthwhile scholarship.
Finally, we will be moving forward with the Community Endowment Campaign under the leadership of Judah Silverman and
Eddy Cook. The goal: to raise an additional $1.5 million in capital
endowments.
I look forward to another fulfilling year for the Foundation. I am
confident that with your help, our Foundation will grow stronger;
we will continue to develop and maintain meaningful
relationships with our donors while providing accountability
and transparency along the way.
LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation • 3
Ways to Contribute
There are many ways to contribute to the Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation and many types
of gifts you can give, depending on your tax, estate planning and personal philanthropic goals.
AN ENDOWMENT IN CASH
For as little as $1,000 ($250 for a B’nai Mitzvah fund) you can open an endowment fund, named by you, to mark an anniversary, wedding, bar/bat mitzvah or
birthday, to honour an individual or in memory of a loved one, and most commonly a family or individual fund.Whatever the motivation, establishing a fund
is a gift forever, ensuring a strong community for future generations.
THE GIFT OF LIFE INSURANCE
The OJCF offers unique insurance plans suitable to everyone. You can leave a
substantial gift to the community with a relatively small donation by purchasing
a life insurance policy naming the OJCF as the beneficiary and owner. You provide the OJCF with a donation in the amount of the insurance premium(s) and
the OJCF provides you with a charitable tax receipt for 100% of your donation.
The death proceeds will be paid directly to the OJCF. Therefore your charitable
gift will not inflate your estate, saving probate fees.
THE GIFT OF AN INSURED ANNUITY
This option provides you with income throughout your life and allows you to
pass on your estate to your heirs while making a substantial gift to the community.
THE GIFT OF STOCKS, BONDS AND MUTUAL FUNDS
The Federal budget removes any tax on the capital gain of securities if they are
donated to charity. In order to qualify for this tax advantage, you must transfer
the shares directly to the OJCF rather than selling the stock and transferring the
proceeds.
THE GIFT OF A CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST
With this option you continue to receive the annual income from your gifted assets during your lifetime but give the OJCF irrevocable title to the gift upon
your death. You will receive an immediate charitable tax receipt (in the amount
allowed by Revenue Canada) for your gift and will also have the satisfaction of
working with the charity during your lifetime.

THE GIFT OF A BEQUEST IN YOUR WILL
You can make a bequest of all or some portion of your estate to the OJCF upon
your death or upon the death of your primary beneficiary. Your gift may include
proceeds from a life insurance policy, personal property, securities or real estate.
GIFTS THROUGH TRIBUTE CARDS
Tribute card donations allow others to know that you are thinking of them and
care about the future of the community. When a donation is made to an OJCF
endowment fund through the tribute card program, the funds are invested in
perpetuity. The allocatable income is distributed annually to benefit and enhance the quality of life in our community through the designated beneficiary
agencies. All contributions are tax receiptable, acknowledged with a tribute
card and listed on the Foundation pages of the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin.

George Joseph Cooper Scholarship Award
Diana Cohen Reiss, recipient of the
2007 award
Third from left - Ariel Goldberg,
recipient of the first annual award
The recipient of the 2007 George Joseph Cooper Scholarship Award was
presented to Diana Cohen Reiss. Diana is a doctoral candidate at the University of Ottawa working with both the Department of Sociology and the Vered
Jewish Canadian Studies Program. Her dissertation will examine Jewish
immigration in Ottawa.
The first annual honour of the George Joseph Cooper Scholarship Award
was given to Ariel Goldberg for his exemplary academic and leadership
achievements.
The G.J.Cooper Scholarship Award is granted each year in support of a member of Ottawa’s Jewish Community who has displayed leadership qualities,
academic excellence and has an interest in the Jewish community. The recipient must be between 18 and 30 years of age. Approximately $14,000 will be
awarded annually to the winning candidate who must use this funding for
continued formal education or apprenticeship in the artistic, literary or social
sciences.
Applications and/or nominations are accepted as of March 1st each year. The
selection process begins after April 1st by a Scholarship Committee comprised
of selected members of the Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation Board of
Directors. Complete details are made available at www.OJCF.ca in the month
of March, as well as in the March issues of the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin.
WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE
Ariel aspires to becoming a writer and Jewish educator. He plans to graduate
this year with a BA in ethics from the University of Ottawa and Saint-Paul
University. During a recent interview with the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin; Ariel
commented,“The award brings my dream of studying at a Yeshiva in Israel
after graduation, closer to reality”.

Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE)
During her lifetime, each woman has a chance
to make a mark on her community.
A Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE) is a fund that permanently endows a woman's annual gift to the Jewish Federation of Ottawa.
Every woman who contributes $5,000 or more to her community’s Annual Campaign can establish a LOJE, ensuring perpetuation
of her Lion of Judah gift. A LOJE can be created in various ways including an insurance policy of $100,000 naming the Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation as the beneficiary, bequests, or transfer of stocks and bonds.
The Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation thanks the following women for their continued commitment as LOJE members in
2007. Their investment in our community will help to provide funding to various agencies through the arm of the Jewish Federation
of Ottawa Annual Campaign in perpetuity.
“Our Federation dollars help support a myriad of institutions both here in Ottawa and in Israel. All four of my children had the
privilege of graduating from Hillel Academy, one of the many beneficiary agencies of the Federation. It is my hope that by endowing my Lion, it will be one small step to ensure that schools such as Hillel Academy and other equally wonderful community resources will continue to thrive for my grandchildren and theirs as well. I am proud to be a Lion of Judah and hope that one by one
the other Lions will also come forward and ensure that their contribution will keep on giving for generations to come.”
- Shelley Rothman
“As an individual who has taken on a leadership position in this community, I believe it is my role and responsibility as a Jewish
woman to show my on-going commitment with my participation and my dollars. I want to ensure the continuity of the Jewish
people here in Ottawa, Israel, and around the world, and endowing my Lion of Judah is one very significant way of doing this.”

You’re never too young for tzedakah
Jacob Landau
The Jewish Community of Ottawa is fortunate to have philanthropists like Saul and the late Edna Goldfarb, who founded the
B’nai Mitzvah Club to encourage young teens of Bar/Bat Mitzvah age to establish a B’nai Mitzvah Fund in their name by
matching their initial donation of $250 up to a maximum of
Jayme Nadolny
Aidan Robern
$1000.
We want our teens to care about the world they live in. Teens
preparing for their Bar or Bat Mitzvah are offered an exciting solution which empowers them in philanthropy and exposes

them to a diverse group of people and Jewish organizations

that are working to improve Jewish lives here, at home, in Israel
and around the world.

“I knew that I wanted the money I received from my Bat Mitzvah
to go into the community. I set up my B’nai Mitzvah Fund
because it was easy and a quick way of making my money help
others.
Jenna Greenberg
Hannah Gennis
“At my Bat Mitzvah, I didn’t really think that I had the power to
help. But starting up a B’nai Mitzvah Fund has shown me that
I do have the power and I have taken my first step in giving
Tzedakah.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation • 21
Community Endowment Campaign
Eddy Cook, Co-Chair of the
Community Endowment
Campaign sub-committee
The Ottawa Jewish Community has grown by 40% in the past 15 years to nearly 14,000 members. As one would expect, this
tremendous growth has increased our need to provide more support for our elderly, our poor and special needs members of
the community. Additionally, as our immigrant population continues to increase, we are in greater need of more absorption
assistance. Also, there continues to be an ever-increasing demand to provide better Jewish education for the various facets of
this community.
The Community Endowment Campaign, a partnership of the Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation (OJCF) and the Jewish
Federation of Ottawa, officially launched in April 2005. This campaign set an ambitious target of a minimum of 25 million
dollars.
The primary goal of the Endowment Campaign is to raise sufficient funds to secure a financial future for the Ottawa Jewish community. These additional funds will help support our more than 28 thriving agencies so that they can continue to offer quality
services to their constituents. The primary purpose of this initiative was to enable agencies to focus on program delivery
instead of fundraising.
Sol and Laya Shabinsky
Established a Community
Endowment Fund in 2007
The Endowment Campaign currently has 59 gifts of cash and pledges totaling $23,395,314. The Campaign has received
$16,845,232 in cash and $6,050,000 in deferred gifts.
As a continuation to the Community Endowment Campaign, Judah Silverman and Eddy Cook have graciously volunteered to
chair the initiative. The goal of the CEC is to raise a further $1.5 million dollars over a period of 18 months. The CEC committee
is actively recruiting canvassers. Support from the generous members of the Ottawa Community is what will sustain Jewish
life for generations to come.
