The Bressler Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Bressler Foundation's stated fields are the arts, education, culture, medical research, and children in need through disability or financial hardship, so a project in one of these areas is the clearest fit.
- The annual report gives its typical grants as between £10,000 and £1,200,000, but the median grant is £25,000, so a modest request near that figure suits its reported giving better than a large one.
- It publishes no application process, so the sensible first step is to get in touch through the contact it shows and ask whether a proposal would be welcome.
- The trustees consider the level of reserves available before distributing funds, so timing may depend on what is available when you approach it.
- Work outside these fields is less likely to match its stated purposes.
