Schiffshul
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Schiffshul's objects cover maintaining a synagogue for religious observance, providing recreation and education facilities, and relieving poor and needy individuals and families, so an organisation working in one of those areas is worth considering.
- Its annual report records £43,364 paid in grants, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one, and the grant range is not stated.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but the charity does not actively invite them, and its trustees generally identify organisations through their own knowledge of their work, so a short introduction that shows how your work matches its objects is a sensible first step.
- Individuals must include a letter of recommendation from their minister or another known religious leader, so an individual without one should not expect to be considered on the terms given.
