Dushinsky Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The trust states its religious purpose as the advancement of religion in accordance with the Orthodox Jewish faith, alongside education and poverty relief, so check how closely your work matches those aims and its stated geographic focus of priority: Israel.
- The annual report gives one total of £434,684 paid and no grant range, so a modest, clearly costed request is the safest starting point.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but trustees choose institutions from their own knowledge of their work and do not actively invite applications, and help depends on circumstances and funds available, so a personal introduction to the trustees is likely to matter more than a cold application.
- Individuals must include a letter of recommendation from their minister or other known religious leader, and the trust publishes no address, email or phone number for applications.
