PACE

A Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment (PACE) is your permanent fund for the Ottawa Jewish Community. This fund, created to endow your gift to the Jewish Federation of Ottawa Annual Campaign (formerly known as UJA), allows your lifelong investment in our community to continue in perpetuity providing help whenever and wherever it will be needed. It is your lasting legacy for the future.

If you open a PACE fund during your lifetime you will receive a charitable tax receipt. You will also have the kavod of seeing your tzedakah at work in our community. There are other ways to create perpetual endowment - insurance policies, bequests, stock/bond/Israel bond transfers - which do not have to be funded during your lifetime and will still offer substantial tax benefits.

In addition to a local wall of honour, the National PACE Honour Society celebrates your endowment of your annual campaign gift with inclusion of your name, by permission, on a national honour roll - a public affirmation of your Jewish values and philanthropic commitment and a powerful example to your children, your heirs and your community.
