Ahavat Hesed UK
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Ahavat Hesed UK's objects cover education, relief of poverty and financial hardship, and the Orthodox Jewish religion, so a project should clearly fall within one of these to be worth raising.
- Its annual report gives typical grants between £1,450 and £13,500, with about 8 in 10 of its 13 grants to organisations in that band, a median of £6,050, and a largest grant of £18,000, so a modest request in the middle of that range fits its usual pattern.
- No publicly published application process is given, and the charity invites applications through contact with local philanthropists, so an introduction or conversation is likely to matter more than a cold written application.
- Timing is not stated, so ask the charity directly when it considers applications.
- Organisations whose work falls outside those objects should not apply.
