Mercaz Chasidei Wiznitz Trust

• The trust's core work is advancing the Orthodox Jewish faith, mainly through grants to institutions in the Mercaz Chasidei Wiznitz network and to qualifying institutions furthering the Jewish faith and Jewish education, so an organisation whose work falls outside those themes is unlikely to qualify, though it also makes discretionary grants and bursaries to needy families and individuals facing hardship.
• Its priority areas are given as the United Kingdom, Israel and around the world.
• The annual report gives typical grants between £18,500 and £145,000, with a median of about £63,500 among the five named grants to organisations, so a very small request would sit well below its usual sizes.
• Donations are generally designated for causes within its network, and the trustees also consider applications from the general public against the charity's objectives and the funds available, so any approach should be framed around those objectives.
• Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but senior members of institutions report their activities and funding needs through regular contact with the trustees, which suggests that giving is relationship-led and that an introduction may matter as much as a written application.
