Freilich Family Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Foundation's stated themes are education and training, relief of poverty, healthcare and emergency care, community projects and religious organisations, across the United Kingdom and Israel, so a project in one of those areas with clear public benefit fits its work.
- Its annual report gives total giving of £345,686 but no grant range, so base your request on what your project costs rather than on a figure the Foundation has stated.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis through the online form, with registration details, latest accounts, your bank account name and a clear description of the project and its beneficiaries.
- Expect greater scrutiny for overseas grants, grants to non-charities and first-time recipients, and be ready to provide reasonable verification and reporting on spending, beneficiaries and outcomes.
- The Foundation generally does not fund commercial or profit-making activity, political campaigning or activity outside its charitable objects, so applicants whose work falls mainly in those areas, or who are unwilling to provide verification or reporting, should look elsewhere.
