Friends of Gur Foundation Israel
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Friends of Gur Foundation Israel makes grants to charitable institutions and organisations whose work accords with its objects, which centre on advancing the Jewish religion and supporting a foundation in Israel, so check that your work fits that purpose before you approach it.
- Its stated priority is Israel, and organisations whose work does not accord with its objects should not apply.
- The report gives no grant range, so there is no published guide to a realistic request size; ask the contact shown for getting in touch what it would consider before you put a figure forward.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to contact that person and ask how the trustees wish to receive approaches.
- All the grants in the report went to one organisation, so do not assume a broad spread of recipients, and nothing stated shows how competitive funding is.
