Colel Chabad
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Colel Chabad's objects centre on the Jewish faith and on relieving poverty among Jewish families and orphans, so check that your work fits those purposes first.
- Its main activity is food distribution in Israel, and the charity generally makes grants to the Colel Chabad organisation there, with occasional grants to other Chabad institutions when donors ask, so an outside group should not expect a grant as a matter of course.
- No grant range is stated and no application process is published, so do not assume a size of request, and the annual report and register entry show no way to apply, so a short, direct enquiry to the charity is the only route the sources point to.
- Its annual giving of £977,164 is a total, not a grant size, and no timing or level of competition is stated, so treat any approach as an open question rather than a planned round.
