Peninim Charity Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The trust's stated purpose is Jewish religious education in accordance with orthodox tenets, so only work of that kind is a fit, and organisations whose work falls outside it should not apply.
- Typical grants fall between £5,000 and £41,500, with a median of about £10,500, so a request in that region matches what it has given, though this is a typical band rather than a limit.
- No geographic focus is stated, and the annual report shows grants mainly in Manchester and Philadelphia, so location alone should not rule you out.
- The report describes no published application process, and trustees choose the institutions they consider to advance the charity's objectives, so a cold application may not be the route in, and a short introduction to the trustees is one way to test interest.
- The annual report does not say how competitive the funding is or when decisions are made.
