The ABC Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The funder's stated purpose centres on the Jewish community, particularly in Hackney and Haringey, so work that does not serve that community may fall outside what it funds.
- Its named grants have a median of about £59,000 and range up to £2,800,000, so a request near the median is a sensible starting point, though the largest grant is well above it.
- No published application process exists, and the trustees weigh their personal knowledge of institutions, their representatives, operational efficiency and reputation, so an introduction or existing relationship is likely to matter more than a cold submission.
- Because the trustees monitor how grant money is used through meetings with institutional representatives, expect an ongoing relationship with them rather than a one-off transaction.
