Federation Of Synagogues
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Federation makes institutional grants only to institutions that share its objectives and ethos and contribute to further communal development, so a group outside that Jewish religious and communal purpose is unlikely to fit.
- Its annual report shows £4,188 awarded in total, so keep any request modest and well costed, since the grant range is not stated.
- No way to apply is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so a short written enquiry that explains how your work matches its remit is a sensible first step, though nothing published says how it responds to enquiries.
- Its registered area of operation lists Manchester City and throughout London, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not assume it is limited to those places.
- Little is published about timing or how competitive grants are, so do not count on this funder as a regular source of income.
