Friends of Bnei Akiva
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated work is Jewish religious education, vocational training and youth bursaries for Jewish young people in the United Kingdom and Israel, so a Jewish youth organisation or a project offering that kind of support is the clearest fit.
- The annual report gives one total of £226,269 paid, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so you cannot judge a typical request size from that total alone.
- No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so the most sensible first step is a short enquiry through the contact shown for getting in touch.
- Nothing published says anything about timing or how competitive its giving is.
- Work outside Jewish youth education, or outside the United Kingdom and Israel, is unlikely to fit what it describes.
