Interstar Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Interstar Foundation supports religious Jewish organisations recognised as charitable under English law, with particular emphasis on education and the relief of poverty, so it is best suited to organisations that fit that description.
- Organisations outside that description should not apply.
- The foundation publishes no application process, and its trustees decide each application on its merits, drawing on personal knowledge of the institution, its representatives, operational efficiency and reputation, so a relationship-led approach is likely to matter more than a standard submission.
- No grant range is stated and the register does not confirm its scale, though its annual report gives total giving of £162,704, so discuss a realistic amount with the trustees rather than assume one.
- Trustees meet regularly and monitor grants through meetings with institutional representatives, so be ready to make yourself available for that scrutiny and to show how funds would be used.
