Three Pillars Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Apply only if your work fits the trust's objects: relieving poverty and hardship, including in the Jewish community, and advancing education and religion according to the Orthodox Jewish faith.
- The annual report shows typical grants between £50,500 and £260,000, with a median of about £84,000, so a request of roughly that size matches its usual giving; the band is typical rather than a limit, and a further £1,573,792 went in grants the report does not itemise.
- The trust accepts applications on a rolling basis, but it publishes no address, email or phone number and describes its route as contacting local philanthropists, so a personal approach through a contact is the way it describes.
- Organisations whose work falls outside these objects are unlikely to fit.
