The Western Charitable Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated objects centre on Jewish cemeteries, relief of poverty in accordance with the principle of the Jewish religion, Orthodox Jewish education and the advancement of Orthodox Judaism, so a request from a group working in those areas is the clearest fit.
- Its objects are narrow, so a request well outside them is unlikely to fit, although the trustees also make donations to a variety of other causes.
- The annual report gives annual giving of £214,663, but no grant range is given, so there is no indication of what size of request is usual.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and the Board of Trustees discusses every request to assess its priority and suitability, so there is no deadline to work towards.
- Nothing says how competitive the foundation is, so a clear request tied to its stated objects is the safest approach.
