Ezer Viznitz Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This foundation suits people in hardship, since it makes one-off small grants to individuals facing financial difficulty, such as after temporary unemployment or unexpected medical costs.
- Organisations are a smaller part of its work: it supports recognised charitable institutions for Orthodox Jewish education and says it plans to support charities with similar objectives, so an organisation with that focus should ask.
- A typical grant to an individual falls between £500 and £10,000, though that band is not a ceiling, and larger applications are assessed on the cause's merits, circumstances and the funds available.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but each needs references and sufficient documentation, as trustees verify submissions and may meet applicants face to face, so allow time to gather evidence.
- No geographic focus is stated, and the registered area of operation (Israel, Belgium, United States, Salford City, Haringey and Hackney) is not presented as an eligibility rule, so a small nonprofit elsewhere should not assume it is out of scope.
