Yad Vashem UK Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Most of the foundation's giving is aimed at Holocaust education and remembrance, so a request fits best if it is about Holocaust education, especially for schools, teachers or organisations in the UK, which the foundation names as its priority.
- Its annual giving is modest, at £184,169 in its latest year according to the annual report, and no typical or full grant range is stated, so a small, specific request sized to a clear project is the safest starting point.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline to plan around, but the annual report does not say how competitive funding is or whether relationships matter.
- Organisations whose work falls outside Holocaust education should not apply, because that is the only subject the foundation describes.
