Key takeaways

  • Biala Synagogue Trust's stated purposes centre on the Orthodox Jewish religion, Jewish education and relief of poverty, including help to needy Jewish families, and its geographic focus is Britain, so a Jewish education, religious or poverty-relief body working in Britain is the kind of organisation it describes; work outside that field is unlikely to fit.
  • The annual report shows £150,885 paid out, but no grant range is stated, so the typical size of a request it funds is unknown and a modest, specific request is the safer starting point.
  • It publishes no address, email or phone number, so the route is to approach the trustees directly with a donation request, which they consider in light of available funds, their personal knowledge of institutions and their representatives, operational efficiency and reputation.
  • Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and because trustees meet representatives and check how donations are used, expect a relationship-led process rather than a quick written decision.
