Big Ben Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Big Ben Trust's stated objects centre on the Orthodox Jewish faith and Orthodox Jewish religious education, and on relieving poverty, sickness and infirmity among members of the Jewish faith, so a request should show a clear link to one of those aims.
- An organisation whose work falls outside them is unlikely to fit, and it should not apply.
- The annual report shows £206,629 paid in the most recent year, but the register does not confirm that scale and no grant range is stated, so the usual size of a grant is unknown and a modest, clearly costed request is a safe starting point.
- No publicly published application process was found in the annual report or the register entry, so a grant writer should ask the trust how it accepts requests before writing a full proposal, and nothing available says how competitive or relationship-led it is.
