The Good Deeds Foundation (In Memory of Maher Farid Irsheid)

Registered charity 1165908 · since 2016·Israel, Jordan·Updated 30 October 2026

Key takeaways

  • The annual report does not publish a grants total or a typical grant size, so a grant writer should ask the foundation's contact what range it considers before setting a request amount.
  • Its stated themes are education, cultural programmes, environmental projects and poverty relief, and its priority areas are the Palestinian territories, Jordan and Israel, so a project in those areas and fields is the clearest fit.
  • No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch with the contact shown and ask how to proceed.
  • The absence of a published figure or a listed grant to an institution is not a reason to hold back, but it does mean the timing and competitiveness of any approach are unknown until the foundation replies.
