At UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, our vision is to lead the most vibrant Jewish community in North America - a community characterized by its diversity, unity, compassion, generosity and commitment to Jewish values. Together with our philanthropic, volunteer and professional leadership, we’re changing lives.

As one of North America’s leading Jewish non-profits, UJA Federation of Greater Toronto works to preserve and strengthen the quality of Jewish life in Greater Toronto, Canada, Israel and around the world. UJA advances this mission through fundraising, programs, and research focused on our strategic pillars: fighting poverty and improving well-being, growing Jewish education and identity, countering antisemitism and hate, and strengthening connections with Israel and Jewish communities worldwide.

The Associate Director, Supplemental Proposals & Stewardship plays a critical cross-functional role between the Jewish Foundation of Greater Toronto, The integrated Development team, and UJA’s Community Capacity Building team, as well as other program delivery teams across the organization. Reporting to the Senior Director, Donor Stewardship and Impact, this role supports the design and delivery of an innovative stewardship and donor engagement approach that enhances the fundholder and donor experience.

The Associate Director contributes to strategies and solutions that deepen donor engagement through thoughtful stewardship, compelling storytelling, and strong collaboration across fundraising and program teams. This includes donor communication and recognition, stewardship execution, data analysis and reporting, operational systems and support, funding opportunities, and impact reporting.

By effectively connecting programmatic priorities with donor interests, the Associate Director helps advance meaningful philanthropic investments in the Toronto Jewish community, in Israel, and globally.

This is an exciting opportunity for a creative and strategic professional who excels in relationship-building, collaboration, and translating impact into compelling narratives.
