Calgary Jewish Federation (CJF)

Calgary Jewish Federation (CJF) is the community’s central funding, planning and coordinating body.  We proudly fund vital programs and services through our annual United Jewish Appeal Campaign and allocate resources according to a strategic plan based on Jewish communal needs and priorities.  CJF also offers programming with specific emphasis on leadership development, outreach and Holocaust education.

We are one of 157 communities affiliated with Jewish Federations of North America. Collectively, the Federation movement is among the top 10 charities on the continent.  It protects and enhances the well-being of Jewish people locally, nationally, in Israel, and around the world.
