Localtrent
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Localtrent's stated themes are Orthodox Jewish education, Orthodox Jewish religion and poverty relief, so work in those areas is the best fit, and a charity whose work falls outside them is unlikely to match what it funds.
- Its typical grant falls between £10,500 and £34,000, with a median of £21,000, and about 8 in 10 of its 15 named grants to organisations sit in that band, so a modest request in that range fits well; the band is not a ceiling, as its largest grant was about £43,000.
- No geographic focus is stated, and the annual report shows grants mainly in England, Israel, Salford and Manchester, so location alone should not be read as a reason to apply or to hold back.
- No application process is published and none was found in the annual report or the register entry, so a short, careful first enquiry is a safer start than a full proposal.
- A further £89,260 was given in grants the report does not itemise, so the named list understates total giving.
