The Yeshivas Ohel Shimon Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Yeshivas Ohel Shimon Trust gives Israel as its priority, and its objects centre on Orthodox Jewish religion and education and the relief of poverty, so the fit is clearest for work in those areas in Israel.
- Its annual report gives annual giving of £348,000, but it gives no grant range, so no typical request size can be drawn from it, and that total should not be read as the size of any single grant.
- No way to apply was found in the annual report, the register entry or other pages about the trust, so any approach would be unsolicited, and you should find a named contact before writing.
- An organisation working outside Israel should check whether the stated priority leaves room for its work, since neither the annual report nor the register says the trust funds only there.
