Thornbirch
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Thornbirch's stated purposes are the advancement of the Orthodox Jewish religion, the relief of poverty, and other purposes recognised as charitable by English law, so work that clearly links to one of these is the best fit, and its geographic focus is given as the United Kingdom.
- The annual report shows £611,850 paid out, but no grant range is stated, so a modest, clearly costed request is a safer starting point than a figure based on its total giving.
- Applications are rolling, so there is no deadline to aim for, but the trustees make donations according to available funds, so timing is uncertain.
- The charity publishes no address, email or phone number for applications, so check its other published details before writing.
