Your Donation
A donation to the Charity made by the Donor (whether by cheque, electronically or by any other means) is an
irrevocable charitable donation to the Charity and such funds immediately become the property of the Charity.
The Charity may only provide Grants for purposes which are considered wholly charitable according to English law.
This includes the allocation of funds to Recipients where the Charity is reasonably satisfied that the provision
of such a Grant is charitable according to English law.
Recipients may be individuals and/or charitable trusts or not-for-profit entities which are registered in England
and Wales with the Charity Commission and/or charities and corresponding not-for-profit entities which are registered
in Israel, the USA and elsewhere with an equivalent registration.
The Charity will have absolute discretion in determining the eligibility of the proposed Recipient, the validity
and timing of any Grants and whether any restrictions should be applied to the Recipient in relation to the use of the funds.
At no time may you, or any person connected to you (for example, if you are an individual, your spouse or close relative,
or if you are a corporate entity, your directors or the person(s) who control you, or another company controlled by them)
be permitted to derive any benefit from the funds which you donate to the Charity.
-
The Charity cannot use funds to pay any private school or college fees whether such fees relate to secular or Kodesh tuition.
This also applies to Boarding Schools, Yeshivas and Seminaries and other colleges of higher education, whether in the UK or abroad. -
In accordance with current HMRC practice, voluntary contributions requested by State Aided schools in relation to the provision
of Kodesh tuition may be paid by grants from the Charity. -
General donations to educational establishments which qualify as charitable organisations under the relevant law may be made
with charitable funds provided all tuition charges have been paid for in full. The Charity reserves the right to request evidence of such payments.
You will provide any information required or requested by the Charity in connection with your Grant or any matter relating to
your dealings with the Charity, as soon as practicable and always within one week of such a request.
You may be asked to confirm in writing that neither you nor any family member receives any benefit from a donation which you
request be made by the Charity.
Donors may also be asked other compliance questions at the discretion of the Charity. The Recipient may also be asked to confirm
that no benefit has or will result, as well as questions pertaining to their relationship with you. Details of the charity/project
may also be requested to satisfy money laundering and other compliance requirements.
The Charity’s Compliance Officer is authorised to inspect any transaction. He/she may contact a Donor or Recipient to confirm
details of a payment and/or to request additional information.
The Charity retains up to 5% of all Grants received in a reserve account to cover the ongoing operations of the Charity, while
the remaining 95% is allocated to the Grants. The Charity reserves the right to periodically adjust these amounts in line with
the requirements of the Charity.
