The Jewish Foundation of Manitoba is a public foundation that manages a growing asset base that exceeds $158 million. The Foundation pools gifts from generous donors and permanently invests them. The Foundation only distributes income earned by the investment; the capital asset base is never touched. Since its inception in 1964, the Foundation has distributed over $72 million in grants and scholarships in Winnipeg and across Canada.

Mission: The Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, in keeping with our Jewish heritage and values, encourages and facilitates the creation and growth of endowment funds to enable the community to realize its potential. The Foundation maintains effective stewardship over all assets entrusted to it; distributes grants that reflect donors’ wishes and community priorities; and provides leadership in the Jewish and general communities.

Vision: Founded on Jewish values, the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba cultivates an endowment fund that guarantees growth, innovation, and the vibrancy of the Jewish and general community in Manitoba. Forever.
