Key takeaways

  • The foundation's stated focus is the United Kingdom, and its objects centre on the Orthodox Jewish religion and the Bobov Chassidim, so a charity whose work lies clearly outside that field is unlikely to fit.
  • The annual report shows £2,510,400 paid out, but no grant range is given, so there is no guide to what a typical request should be; keep yours tied to your real costs.
  • No application process is published, though a New Charity Application form exists for new charities that do not already have an account with the foundation, so start there if that describes you.
  • Unrestricted grants are decided by trustees using their knowledge of institutions, so a clear, early introduction to the trustees may help, while restricted grants follow donors' wishes and depend on finding a donor who wants to support your work.
  • No deadline is given, so ask about timing before you write.
