JEG Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- JEG Trust's stated purpose is poverty relief and the advancement of the Jewish religion, so a request fits best where your work clearly serves one of those aims, mainly for people of Jewish faith though not only them.
- Its eligibility test is that applicants operate in alignment with its objectives, so an organisation whose work falls outside them should not expect to qualify.
- About 8 in 10 of its 26 named grants fall between £4,200 and £65,000 and the median is about £11,000, so a request in that region is realistic, though the largest grant was £87,500.
- No published application process was found, so a sensible first step is to write to the trust, ask how to apply, and show clearly how your work aligns with its objectives, since funding decisions are subject to due diligence and review.
- Nothing published gives timing or says how competitive or relationship-led the trust is, so do not assume either.
