Ben-Gurion University Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Ben-Gurion University Foundation directs its giving towards Ben-Gurion University, so a request fits best if it links to the university's research in medical fields, science or engineering, its student scholarships, or its Community Action Department work with disadvantaged residents around the university.
- Its geographic focus is given as Israel and The United Kingdom.
- No grant range is stated, so no typical request size can be given, and it is wise to ask the contact shown before proposing an amount.
- No application process is published, so the first step is to get in touch through the contact shown in the annual report or on its website, and nothing is said about timing or how competitive grants are, so expect to learn both from that first contact.
