Rookwood Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation is a fit only for religious Jewish organisations, especially in education, and for organisations solely committed to relief of poverty, which is how its trustees describe the groups they support.
- Its annual report gives annual giving of £64,664, and the grant range is not stated, so a modest request is the safer starting point, with no typical grant size to aim at.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and are reviewed by the trustees regularly, but no address, email or phone number is published, so a written approach should be made through whatever route the charity has already used and not assumed from a contact detail.
- Organisations outside those two groups are unlikely to fit its stated criteria, and nothing published about its giving says how competitive or relationship-led it is.
