The London Board for Shechita
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Apply only if your work relates to kosher meat and poultry supply, kashrus standards or the protection of shechita, since that is what the charity says it does and funds.
- Its typical grants reported in the annual report run from £6,700 to £36,000, with a median of £12,500, so a request in that region is a sensible starting point.
- The annual report shows grants mainly in Scotland, England and Manchester, but no geographic focus is stated, so treat that as a pattern rather than a limit on who may apply.
- No application process is published, so contact the address shown for getting in touch and ask how to proceed before writing a full proposal.
