British Friends of the Rabbi Meir Baal Haness Charity (Kollel Shomrei Hachomos)
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated purposes are poverty relief and Jewish education and religion, and its stated priority is Israel, so a small nonprofit should first check that its own work fits those aims.
- The annual report gives no grant range, so there is no published guide to a realistic request size, and a grant writer should ask the charity rather than assume an amount.
- Its latest giving all went to one Israel-based institution, which suggests a funder that works through established relationships more than open applications.
- No way to apply was found in the annual report, its register entry or other pages about it, so a short enquiry is a better first step than a full application.
