Introducing the New Grandparents Initiative

We are proud to launch a heartfelt new initiative at this year’s AGM — the Grandparents Legacy Initiative. Created by Sharon and David Appotive, this new matching fund program empowers grandparents to build a philanthropic legacy with their grandchildren, passing on cherished values and strengthening Jewish Ottawa across generations.

Sharon Appotive will offer personal remarks on this visionary new program and the power of legacy to build connection, purpose, and community. We hope you'll join us!
