Dover Sholem Community Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Dover Sholem Community Trust's stated work covers special educational needs support, community activities, teacher training and grants to mature students, so requests in those areas are the clearest fit.
- Its stated aims also include advancing Orthodox Jewish faith and relieving poverty in the Orthodox Jewish community, so groups outside that community may not match what the trust says it does.
- The annual report and register entry give no grant range, no geographic focus and no way to apply, so keep any request modest and proportionate, and ask the trust how to apply before writing a full proposal.
- Its annual giving of £1,664,028 shows it is a substantial funder, but the sources do not say how competitive it is or whether it works through existing relationships.
