UK Friends of the Association for the Wellbeing of Israel's Soldiers
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated aims are the welfare, education and recreation of serving and discharged Israeli soldiers and their families, and its own priority area is Israel, so work outside those themes is unlikely to fit.
- It funds projects run by other organisations, mainly through AWIS Israel and other approved organisations, so a small charity should first check whether it could be one of those approved partners.
- The annual report gives a total of £331,003 paid to other charities for pre-approved projects, but it gives no grant range, so the size of a realistic request cannot be judged from what is published.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to ask whether the project would be considered.
- Because trustees pre-approve projects, an early conversation is likely to matter more than a written proposal sent cold.
