Broom Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Broom Foundation's stated purposes are Orthodox Jewish education and relief of poverty amongst the Jewish community, so work outside those themes is unlikely to fit its objects.
- Its stated eligibility is charitable institutions and organisations that accord with its objects, and registered charities or other charitable institutions, so a group without charitable status should not expect to qualify.
- Its typical grant band is £74,000 to £250,000, with a median of about £130,000, and the band is not a ceiling, so a request sized near that median is closest to what its annual report shows.
- No way to apply was found in the annual report, its register entry or its website, and grants are at the trustees' discretion with donors' wishes taken into account, so ask the charity how it considers requests before submitting a formal proposal.
