The Exemplar Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your work fits if it relieves poverty among persons of the Jewish faith, advances the Jewish religion, or educates the public in Jewish history and culture, since those are the trust's stated objectives.
- Its aims have no country-specific limit, so where you work is not in itself a barrier.
- Organisations whose work does not serve persons of the Jewish faith or these religious and cultural purposes fall outside its objectives and should not apply.
- The annual report gives no grant range or annual total, so a modest, specific request is the safest starting point, and no published application process was found, so a short letter setting out how your work meets its objectives is a sensible first step.
- The trustees say they identify organisations that meet these aims and regularly support a number of them, so expect the trust to look for suitable recipients itself rather than respond to open calls.
