Comet Charities
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Comet Charities' stated purpose is the advancement of Jewish religious education, so organisations whose work falls outside that area are unlikely to fit.
- In the annual report, about 8 in 10 of its 15 named grants to organisations fall between £29,500 and £99,000, with a median of £46,000, so a request in that range is the most realistic.
- The band is typical, not a ceiling, because the largest named grant was about £1,950,000.
- The annual report shows grants mainly in England and London, but no geographic focus is stated, and the report publishes no application process, so there is no set route in and it is not clear how competitive or relationship-led the funder is.
