About International Fellowship of Christians and Jews of Canada:
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews of Canada’s (IFCJC) mission is to promote better relations and understanding between Christians and Jews. The charity encourages greater cooperation between the two communities on issues of shared biblical concern and supports Jews in crises.
IFCJC has three key programs: Guardians of Israel, Isaiah 58, and On Wings of Eagles. IFCJC spent $2.1m (29% of F2018 program costs) on the Guardians of Israel program, running sub-programs Feeding the Hungry, which supports 30 soup kitchens, Helping Children, Dental Care, and Holocaust Survivors to help victims in Israel. IFCJC spent $2.8m (39% of F2018 program costs) on its Isiah 58 program, which helps Jewish orphans and elderly in the former Soviet Union. This program provides food, medical care, winter care, biblically-based education and vocational training and a safe place to live for abandoned Jewish children. The On Wings of Eagles program, $2.1m (29% of F2018 program costs), helps Jews immigrate to Israel.
IFCJC's annual T3010 filing with the CRA reports $1.3m in 2017 funding Canadian Foundation for Education & Welfare of Jews in Toronto, Ontario, as well as $165k in 2017 and $396k in F2016 funding The Jerusalem Foundation of Canada Inc in Westmount, Quebec. IFCJC's 2018 return is not yet available. Charity Intelligence cannot reconcile this grant funding with IFCJC's program spending reported in its audited financial statements.
