About UJA Federation of Greater Toronto:

Founded in 1917 and celebrating its 100^th anniversary in 2017, United Jewish Appeal Federation of Greater Toronto's (UJA) mission is to preserve and strengthen the quality of Jewish life in the Greater Toronto regions, Canada, Israel, and around the world. UJA reports that it is the only organization in Jewish Toronto that focuses on the entire community.

It does this through the programing and grant allocations in six areas: forging strong connections with Isreal; strengthening Jewish education; inspiring young generations to embrace Jewish life; caring for the vulnerable; advocacy on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people; and national programs. In F2016 UJA distributed $35.6m (46% of total distributions) to United Jewish Welfare Fund of Toronto, $14.0m (18%) to United Israel Appeal of Canada Inc., and had designated and special campaign grants of $27.9m (36%). Together, these grants supported over 100 affiliated schools and agencies, 11 affiliated camps, 32 beneficiary agencies, and 18 programs and departments.

Financial Review:

United Jewish Appeal Federation of Greater Toronto is a Major 100 charity with $87.7m in donations in F2016. Administrative and fundraising costs were 8% of revenues. For every $1 donated to UJA, 92 cents went to the cause. This falls within Charity Intelligence’s reasonable range of overhead spending. UJA has funding reserves of $2.8m, which cover 4% of annual program costs. With only enough cash on hand to cover less than one month of programming, UJA needs funding.

This charity report is an update that is currently being reviewed by United Jewish Appeal Federation of Greater Toronto. Changes and edits may be forthcoming.
