The B S Charitable Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your organisation is an Orthodox Jewish charity that teaches traditional Judaism or advances religion in accordance with the Orthodox Jewish faith, or a similar charity, the foundation's stated purpose fits your work; charities outside that description are not what it says it funds.
- The annual report says about 8 in 10 of its 12 named grants to organisations fell between £4,000 and £18,500, with a median of £9,500, so a request in that range is typical, though its largest named grant was £74,000.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and go to the trustees, but the foundation does not publish an address, email or phone number, so check the annual report for how to make contact before writing.
- The annual report shows grants mainly in Scotland and Manchester, but no geographic focus is stated, so that pattern describes where giving has gone rather than who may apply.
