(JNF Canada) – This past year has been challenging for JNF Canada and for Jewish communities across the country.
Even without charitable status and amid an ongoing legal dispute with the CRA, JNF Canada has remained committed to its mission. We proudly hosted our signature events, welcomed thousands of supporters nationwide, and alongside collaborating organizations, we raised significant funds for critical projects in Israel.
JNF Canada is privileged to have such dedicated supporters who ensured that we could continue our work.
We also know this is not a sustainable path forward. The absence of our charitable status has limited our ability to operate effectively, and our supporters have told us they want their donations to have the full impact, including the ability to receive charitable receipts.
In response, wonderful friends stepped forward to dedicate their charity to carrying out similar work, and have appropriately re-named it, Friends of JNF Canada. With our Board of Director’s full endorsement, this organization will continue supporting the kinds of projects that have always defined JNF Canada’s mission: serving Israelis in need through charitable projects that help the vulnerable, enhance environmental sustainability, and support the mental & physical health of Israelis in need. As of Monday, September 8, Friends of JNF Canada will begin its outreach, announcing upcoming programs and campaigns. We hope you will support them too.
