For over half a century, the Jewish Community Foundation has been a leader in Smart Philanthropy®, for the benefit of the Jewish community and society at large. We are committed to inspiring, optimizing, and enhancing philanthropy by helping individuals and families achieve their philanthropic goals.

Magnifying The Power of Giving

We seek to magnify the power of giving, producing ever more impact in Montreal, Canada, and around the world. Expanding upon this commitment, we contribute to building a culture of meaningful and innovative philanthropic giving in our communities.

A key Go-To
Knowledge Hub

Our role as a leader in philanthropy, sharing knowledge, and investing in the community has inspired the creation of the Centre for Philanthropic Learning (CPL). The CPL aims to be a key go-to knowledge hub on matters related to charitable giving, as part of a wider philanthropic ecosystem.

Designed to engage professional advisors, donors and charities, the CPL is a platform for sharing our expertise, delivering programming, and providing educational resources to help individuals and organizations make informed decisions about impactful giving.

Join us and be part of a movement of
people who care.

    • As founder of a Montreal startup charity focused on transforming religious properties, hearing from Scott Harrison at the Centre for Philanthropic Learning (CPL) came at a very significant moment in our own story. The JCF’s vision for the CPL is perfectly suited at a time when the impact of Montreal’s historic philanthropic sector is propelling us to do more good. I cannot wait to see what CPL has in store for us all.
