Kollel Chibas Jerusalem Charity Fund Limited
About
Kollel Chibas Jerusalem Charity Fund Limited is an Australian Jewish charitable foundation that raises funds to provide relief from poverty, sickness, and suffering. It supports disadvantaged families and individuals within Australia and globally, with a particular emphasis on traditional Jewish charitable causes such as Matanos Le'evyonim (gifts to the poor), Hachnosas Kallah (marriage assistance for poor brides), and support for religious institutions. The organization operates as a fundraising platform connecting donors to specific causes affecting Australian, Israeli, and Ukrainian families and organizations.
Tips for Applicants
This organisation primarily functions as a donor-directed fundraising platform rather than a traditional grantmaker. Those seeking support would typically need to be connected to the Jewish community and have their cause listed on their platform. The organisation emphasises anonymous giving and prefers low-profile assistance. Approach through established community connections within the Jewish community in Australia.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation operates as a pass-through charity, connecting donors to specific causes and campaigns. It values anonymous giving and allows donors to support causes through its 'Chibas Pillar' recurring giving program. The organization prioritises quiet, discreet assistance to those in need within the Jewish community and beyond, supporting both individual families and organisational causes.
