Our Purpose

Our Purpose

The vision, passion and drive of the family - directed to Jewish and wider communal causes in each country where the Foundation operates.

The role of The Benjamins Foundation is to deliver on the vision, passion and drive of the family, who asked that their philanthropy is directed to Jewish and wider communal causes in each country where the Foundation operates.

It's vitally important to the family that the Foundation ensures that the rights of each recipient and their dignity is respected and upheld. To that end, the Foundation will carefully examine every corporate, institutional and individual applicant to ensure their values align with those of the Foundation.

It will undertake appropriate enquiries to ensure that every recipient meets the standard required by the Board. Research and inquiries will be handled professionally and discreetly to ensure that the rights and privacy of individuals and organisations are upheld.
