Give Us a Chance

The funder prioritises initiatives offering direct poverty relief—such as emergency assistance, welfare services, and support for families in need—alongside programmes enhancing Jewish religious learning through schools, supplementary education, community activities, and resources. It supports operating costs, core funding, programme delivery, and occasionally capital projects for organisations demonstrating tangible impact on these dual themes. There is a preference for repeat grants to established Jewish welfare and educational bodies. The geographic focus is on England and Wales, particularly London and key Jewish community hubs.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities based in England and Wales, serving Jewish beneficiaries facing disadvantage. Small to medium-sized, proven organisations are favoured, though no strict income thresholds apply. The funder prioritises initiatives that align with its dual focus on poverty relief and Jewish religious education, with a preference for established bodies that can demonstrate tangible impact. Funding is invite-only, with no unsolicited applications accepted.

Give Us a Chance excludes non-Jewish causes, individuals, non-charities, international work, and sectors beyond poverty relief or Jewish religious education. This narrow scope means it does not support general community projects, arts, health, or environmental initiatives outside its specific focus areas.

Funding is invite-only, with trustees strategically selecting recipients. The funder supports operating costs, core funding, programme delivery, and occasionally capital projects. There is a preference for repeat grants to established Jewish welfare and educational bodies, indicating a partnership-oriented approach rather than one-off awards.
