Yesamach Levav
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Yesamach Levav's stated purposes centre on the Orthodox Jewish faith and education and on relieving poverty, sickness and infirmity among members of the Jewish faith, so work in those areas is the clearest fit, and its stated geographic focus is worldwide.
- Most of its named grants fall in a typical band of £34,000 to £200,000, with a median of about £56,500 and a largest of about £205,000, so a request in or near that range is what the annual report suggests; the band describes typical grants, not a ceiling.
- Charitable institutions should approach the trustees with a request, and because the trustees select institutions according to their knowledge of their work, showing that knowledge is likely to matter.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but the named grants in the annual report cover only part of the total, since a further £954,403 went in grants it does not itemise.
- Individuals must include a recommendation letter from their minister or another known religious leader, so an individual applicant would need one.
