Combined Funds
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Combined Funds suits only work that relates to its objects of advancing the Orthodox Jewish faith and relieving poverty, and its grants in practice go to Jewish education and to institutions whose fee income has fallen.
- Its trustees seek UK charities that meet those objects and strict ethical criteria, so an organisation whose work falls outside them should not apply.
- No grant range is published and no application route was found in its annual report or register entry, so check its annual report before approaching it and do not assume a particular size of grant.
- Its annual giving was £415,370 according to its annual report, so a modest, clearly costed request is the safer starting point.
- If you are an institution, be ready to explain how the money will be spent, since the trustees stipulate how institutional grants are used and monitor their effectiveness.
