Josha
At a glance
Key takeaways
- JOSHA's themes are the Orthodox Jewish religion, education, poverty relief and sickness and infirmity, and its trustees make grants at their discretion in line with its principal objectives, so your work needs to sit clearly within those areas.
- Its annual report gives total annual giving of £911,050, but it does not give grant sizes and that total may include grants to individuals, so the annual report does not show what a typical request would be.
- No way to apply was found in the annual report, its register entry or other pages about it, so writing to the charity to ask about its process and timing is the sensible first step, and the annual report does not show how competitive or relationship-led its giving is.
- Organisations whose work falls outside those four areas are unlikely to fit, because its grants follow its principal objectives.
