Ondawn
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Ondawn's stated purpose is poverty relief for needy families and support for Orthodox Jewish religious education, so a group whose work sits outside those aims is unlikely to fit.
- The annual report gives no grant range and no published way to apply, so do not assume a typical request size, and make a short written enquiry before preparing a full application.
- The report says most donations go to religious educational institutions, which then distribute funds; some recipients get regular payments while others get one-off help and may apply again, and one trustee assesses each request before the other trustees decide.
- Nothing in the annual report says how competitive giving is or when decisions are made, so avoid planning a timetable around it.
- An organisation that approaches Ondawn should explain clearly how its work meets the poverty relief or Orthodox Jewish education aims.

Priority Areas
The foundation raises funds on an ongoing basis to provide for needy families and religious educational institutions. It seeks to alleviate poverty of individuals and further education according to the tenets of the Orthodox Jewish faith. Most donations go directly to institutions, which then distribute funds to various recipients. Distribution varies: some recipients receive regular payments based on trustees’ calculations of weekly requirements, adjusted when circumstances change; others receive one-off help and may apply again when necessary. One trustee obtains information to assess whether a payment is justified, and, after approval, the other trustees make a decision for each recipient.
