Viznitz Institutions Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The trust's stated objects centre on the Orthodox Jewish religion, Orthodox Jewish religious education and education generally, and relieving poverty, so a charity whose work falls outside these areas is unlikely to fit.
- Its listed geographic focus is England, and its main emphasis is maintaining the Talmudical College of Viznitz in London.
- The trustees do not invite applications and select institutions according to their personal knowledge of their work, and no address, email or phone number is published for applications, so an existing link or introduction is likely to matter more than a cold application.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline to aim for, but the grant range is not stated and total annual giving is £397,680, so justify whatever figure you ask for rather than assume a typical grant.
