At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Rubislaw Foundation's stated purposes are education, relief of poverty or financial hardship, and the advancement of the Orthodox Jewish religion, and its reported grants to institutions have included poverty relief and Jewish religious education, so check that your work fits those themes before applying.
- Its geographic focus is worldwide and its annual giving is £3,600 according to the annual report, so a modest request is the realistic size, and no grant range is stated.
- The foundation accepts applications on a rolling basis, but it publishes no address, email or phone number, so you would need to apply by mail or verbally, and it says it considers each application against criteria it has established.
- Nothing published says whether it is relationship-led or competitive, so judge your approach on how well your request meets its stated criteria.
