Sabeno
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Sabeno fits organisations that are Jewish charitable, religious or educational institutions, since its appeals come from such bodies and its objectives centre on Orthodox Jewish religion and education, so organisations outside that community should not apply.
- Most of its named grants fall between £3,000 and £15,000, with about 8 in 10 of its 42 grants in that band, a median of £10,000 and a largest grant of £115,000, so a request near the typical band is realistic, though that band is not a ceiling.
- Its grants cover buildings, equipment, educational material and general running costs, and any request for poverty relief needs appropriate certification sent with it.
- Applications are rolling, but no address, email or phone number is published, and the annual report says appeal letters come from institutional representatives, who also make personal visits, so the process appears relationship-led.
- The annual report states no geographic focus, so location alone should not rule an application out, although its grants are mainly in England, London, Barnet and Hackney.

Priority Areas

It receives requests from Jewish charitable, religious and educational institutions, and makes grants for capital purposes, including buildings, equipment and educational material, as well as towards the institutions' general running costs.
