The Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver is committed to building a strong, vibrant and enduring Jewish community in the Lower Mainland, in Israel and throughout the world by nurturing the values, practices and traditions which sustain and enrich Judaism and Jewish culture. Federation works in collaboration with many partners locally, nationally and abroad. Our efforts are combined with other Jewish communities in Canada through United Israel Appeal Federations Canada, and in Israel through Keren Hayesod and the Jewish Agency for Israel. Jewish Federation strengthens our community through four pillars of community support:

1. Collaborative community planning. We work together with our partner agencies to identify community needs, and strategically allocate financial resources for effective responses.

2. Financial resource development. Funds raised through the Federation Annual Campaign, endowments and supplemental giving help partner agencies provide programs and services required by the community.

3. Leadership development. Federation nurtures and prepares emerging leaders for their future roles within our community.

4. Israel and overseas connections. We foster and strengthen our community's ties with Israel and other overseas communities.
