The Tel Aviv Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- As other published sources report it, the Foundation's stated priority is Tel Aviv-Yafo, and its annual report describes its projects as principally educational, medical and social, across areas that include health and welfare, sports, arts and culture, public space and emergency funds.
- Its annual giving was £554,750, but no grant range is stated, so the published material gives no typical or usual grant size to aim for.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to ask whether your project fits current priorities before you send a formal request.
- Funding goes to projects the Municipality identifies in education, arts and culture, social services, and parks and playgrounds, and trustees decide which of those projects to fund, so a project that clearly matches one of those needs is likely to be better placed.
- The published material sets out no exclusions or eligibility rules and gives no timing for decisions, so ask about both when you make contact.
