Bourneheights
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Bourneheights fits best where a request supports Orthodox Jewish religious and educational life or relief of poverty in that community, with general education also named in its purposes.
- Its typical grants are modest: about 8 in 10 of its 18 grants to organisations fall between £10,000 and £310,000, and the median is about £16,000, so a request near that level suits its usual giving, though the largest grant was about £310,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
- The annual report states no geographic focus, so an organisation should not assume it is excluded on location, and its purposes are the main test of fit.
- No application process is published, and the annual report, its register entry and other pages give no way to apply, so a short written enquiry is the sensible first step.
- Its timing and how competitive its giving is are not stated.
