Donate to the CJA

Where Strong Foundations and Inspired Possibilities Grow Together.

When you give to the CJA, you’re helping deliver more than just a strong education — you’re supporting the experiences that make it exceptional.

Tuition covers the basics. Your donation brings the learning to life.

Gifts to the CJA help fund the extras that set us apart: immersive Jewish experiences and traditions, enriched academics, arts and athletics, student wellbeing, and the kind of hands-on learning that prepares students to thrive in a complex, modern world.

Whether you give monthly or make a one-time contribution, your support helps us deliver a well-rounded, future-ready Jewish education and dual curriculum rooted in tradition and strengthened by community.

You can make your gift go even further by checking if your employer offers corporate matching or employee giving. Many companies will match donations from their employees, sometimes doubling or tripling your impact, and some offer the option to give directly through payroll. Ask your HR or community engagement department for details, or contact us, and we’ll be happy to help you explore these options.

Use the secure form below to make your donation to a specific fund, or honour someone special with a Tribute Gift.

If you have any questions about your donation, matching gifts, or other giving options, please contact: Dana Silver, Director of Community & Advancement at silverd@cja.ab.ca or 403-253-3992 ext. 321.

Friends of CJA Trust Fund

While direct gifts support CJA today, the CJA Trust Fund is designed to strengthen the school’s long-term stability and future. The Friends of the Calgary Jewish Academy play a vital role in helping CJA thrive, today and for generations to come. Through a dedicated trust fund, the Friends help support the school’s core operating needs and provide funding for specific projects when required, contributing to a stable and sustainable environment for students and families.

The trust is invested and administered through the Jewish Community Foundation of Calgary, providing long-term stability, strong governance, and responsible stewardship. A volunteer Board of Directors, made up of community members and CJA representatives, guides the Friends with a focus on sustaining the school’s strength and resilience well into the future.

For donors considering a significant or legacy-focused gift, we encourage a personal conversation to explore how a Trust contribution can best align with your philanthropic goals. Please contact David Busheikin, Chair of the Friends of the CJA Trust, at busheikin.david@gmail.com.
