Machzikei Lomdei Torah
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its work fits best if you run Orthodox Jewish educational activity, especially Talmudic study, because grants go to charitable institutions whose work accords with its objects, so an organisation outside that field should not apply.
- Its annual giving is £956,380, but the vast majority of its giving goes to Machzikei Lomdei Torah Yerushalayim and no grant range is stated, so a modest request that you can justify is safer than assuming a typical award.
- No way to apply is published, and the trustees decide on their personal knowledge of the institution, its representatives, operational efficiency and reputation, so expect a relationship-led approach in which the amount depends on the funds available.
- Nothing on timing is stated, so ask the funder directly rather than guess when to approach.
