Leeds Kollel
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Leeds Kollel's named grants go to Jewish educational institutions and community aid organisations, as well as to individuals, so a request is most likely to fit if it concerns Jewish education or financial hardship.
- Its stated geographic focus is the UK.
- The typical grant band is £1,250 to £25,000, into which about 8 in 10 of its 13 grants to organisations fall, with a median of £5,000, so a modest request in that range is a realistic ask.
- The largest grant was £47,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Neither its annual report nor its website describes a way to apply, so a short enquiry to the charity before a full application is sensible.
