Starlow Charities
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Starlow Charities is a fit only if your work conforms to its objects, which centre on the Orthodox Jewish religion, education in accordance with traditional Judaism, and relief of poverty among Orthodox Jewish community members, so organisations outside these should not apply.
- Its stated focus is national and overseas, so your area is not in itself a barrier, but the religious objects are.
- Most of its named grants are sizeable: about 8 in 10 of its 19 named grants fall between £10,000 and £165,000, with a median of about £35,000, though the largest was about £245,000, so a request in that range is typical rather than a ceiling.
- Its annual report and register entry give no way to apply and no published process, so check those sources before writing and do not assume an open route exists.
- The annual report says nothing about timing, how competitive it is, or whether relationships matter, so base your approach on its objects and typical grant sizes alone.
