Key takeaways

  • String of Pearls names North West London as a priority, and its purposes are Jewish religious education in that area, relief of hardship, ill-health and disadvantage, and help for young people there, so a request should show a clear link to one of these.
  • Its annual report records £496,398 paid in the most recent year reported, of which £119,357 went to individuals, but no grant range is stated, so check the likely size with the charity before setting an amount.
  • No application process is published in the annual report or register entry, so make contact first rather than sending a formal application.
  • Its objects say these purposes are not exclusive, so ask about fit before deciding you are out of scope, and nothing in the sources shows how competitive or relationship-led its giving is or when it considers requests.
