The Leo and Betty Gruss Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The trust's stated aims are to relieve poverty, advance the Orthodox Jewish faith and Jewish education, and its objects name assistance to large needy families and needy brides, so work outside these aims is unlikely to fit.
- The annual report says projects should meet the charity's objectives, and its examples are a music hall in Jerusalem funded through a UK-registered charity and a grant commitment to an independent not-for-profit organisation.
- No grant range is stated, so there is no typical request size to go by, and a clearly costed request tied to one of these objectives is a sensible starting point.
- No application process is published, so the best route is to contact the trust through the contact shown on the register entry.
- The register lists Israel and throughout England and Wales as its area of operation, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not assume a particular area is a condition of applying.
