Christian Friends of Israel
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Christian Friends of Israel gives mainly to social and humanitarian work in Israel, so projects there on medical and social needs, Holocaust survivors, new immigrants, terror victims or Christian believers in Israel are the clearest fit.
- Its annual giving is £234,313, and no grant range is stated, so a modest request is a sensible starting point rather than a figure based on any typical grant.
- No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so the practical step is to get in touch using the contact shown before preparing a full proposal.
- The charity says it distributes restricted funds usually on a quarterly cycle, so timing may follow that pattern, and the sources do not say how competitive its giving is.
- Organisations whose work lies outside Israel or outside the themes above may find the fit weaker, though its stated work also reaches other parts of the world.
