2007 Annual Report - Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation
OTTAWA JEWISH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION • ANNUAL REPORT 2007 The Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation provides donors the vehicle to contribute to the long term financial stability and support of the needs of the agencies which serve the Ottawa Jewish community. ANNUAL REPORT 2007 The Foundation acts as a steward for these gifts and links the past, the present and the future while building trust with everyone we serve. Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation WWW.OJCF.CA 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. Casey Swedlove z”l established a Memorial Fund through a bequest Mark and Lise Thaw and Family established a family fund 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. WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation • 4 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”. Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation•5 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.” - Debbie Weiss LION OF JUDAH ENDOWMENT Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation • 6 Lion of Judah Endowment Ruth Berger z”l Ellen Cherney Roz Fremeth Frieda Levitan Barbara Crook Edna Goldfarb z”l Bonnie Merovitz Pat Flesher Barbara Farber Sheila Hartman Dorothy Nadolny Sandra Levinson Shelley Rothman LION OF JUDAH ENDOWMENT Ethel Taylor Rose Taylor Ruth Viner Debbie Weiss Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation • 7 Saul and Edna Goldfarb B’nai Mitzvah Club Charlotte Hamburg 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 Ethan Sanders them to a diverse group of people and Jewish organizations Adam Sherman that are working to improve Jewish lives here, at home, in Israel and around the world.

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.

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.
