The Manny Cohen Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated intention is to split its net income equally between work benefiting Jewish people and work benefiting non-Jewish people, and its stated criteria include relieving suffering in Ukraine, helping people with cancer, and supporting children, so a project in one of those areas, or one clearly benefiting either group, is the closest fit.
- It accepts applications on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline to work to, and each application is assessed against its objectives and reviewed by trustees if it meets their requirements on the benefit given.
- No grant range is stated, so check the annual report for what has been given before choosing a request amount; the £563,246 paid figure comes from a scanned page, and the Charity Commission register does not confirm the scale.
- No exclusions are stated, and eligibility covers charities, individuals and other organisations working to further the same purposes, so a small organisation whose work furthers charitable purposes can approach it, though it is not stated how competitive or relationship-led the funder is.
