Key takeaways

  • Ahavath Chessed Charitable Association's stated fields are the advancement of religion, religious education and the relief of poverty, and its objects also cover schools teaching in accordance with traditional Judaism, so work in those areas is the closest fit.
  • No grant range or geographic focus is given, so its annual giving of £1,617,059 says little about the size of an individual award, and any request should be tied to a clear need and checked against the separate grants publication available from its registered office.
  • The trustees generally choose institutions through their personal knowledge of their work and do not actively invite applications, though they will consider any application carefully and help according to circumstances and available funds, so an existing connection is likely to matter.
  • Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but the charity publishes no address, email or phone number for sending one, so find a contact route through the annual report or the Charity Commission register before writing.
