E M Shasha Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's grants are for Jewish religious education, poverty relief for needy individuals within the Jewish Community, and bursaries for post-graduate rabbinic students, so a charity whose work falls outside those purposes is unlikely to fit.
- The annual report records £280,929 awarded, but it gives one total that may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so tie any request to a costed need rather than a guessed figure.
- No way to apply was found in the annual report, the register entry or other pages about the foundation, so confirm the process before writing a full proposal.
- Institutional grants come with trustees stipulating how the money should be spent and monitoring its effectiveness, so be ready to explain exactly how funds would be used.
- Nothing published about the foundation says anything about timing or how competitive its grants are.
