Key takeaways

  • Lakechance Limited suits charitable institutions whose work is in education or the relief of poverty, which are its main areas of giving, and its objects also include the advancement of the Orthodox Jewish faith.
  • Neither its typical grant size nor its geographic focus is stated, so ask the trustees what size of request would be realistic before setting a figure.
  • Requests are accepted on a rolling basis and the trustees consider all they receive, so there is no deadline, but donations depend on the level of funds available, so a modest, clearly reasoned request is sensible.
  • The annual report describes its grants as going to a variety of charitable institutions and as being made from unrestricted funds.
  • The stated route is for charitable institutions to approach the trustees, so individuals are not the route it describes.
