Glenmate
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Glenmate makes grants only to Orthodox Jewish institutions and to individuals in financial need, and its stated theme is Jewish religious education, so the work must serve that faith community to fit.
- The annual report shows £164,675 paid in the latest year reported, but no grant range is stated, so the report gives no guide to a realistic request size.
- The trustees choose institutions on their personal knowledge of their work and say they are not actively inviting applications, though they will consider any, so a cold approach may carry little weight and a route through someone who knows the trustees' work is likely to matter more.
- Individuals must send a letter of recommendation from their minister or another known religious leader, and the charity publishes no address, email or phone number for applications.
- Applications are rolling, so there is no deadline to work to.
