Bayt Ul Maqdis Foundation

Registered charity 1139176 · since 2010bmfoundation.org.uk·Jerusalem·Updated 29 October 2026

Key takeaways

Its stated priority is Jerusalem and its surrounding regions, and its work covers poverty relief, education, clean water, food, livelihoods, housing and cultural heritage, so a group working on those themes in that area has the clearest fit.
Neither the annual report nor the register gives an annual giving figure or a grant range, so there is no typical request size, and a grant writer should ask before naming an amount.
No application process is published; the contact shown in the annual report, its register entry or its website is for getting in touch, so a short enquiry through that contact is the sensible first step.
Neither the annual report nor its website gives any timing, and no exclusions are published, so no organisation is ruled out, though a group working well outside Jerusalem and its surrounding regions should check fit first.
