To date, The Orah Fund has donated over $3,685,000.
Donations are distributed to charities run by Jewish people that benefit both the
Jewish community and community at large, both locally and abroad.
To be eligible to receive ORAH allocations, the charity must:
- Have tax deductible status (DGR1 or DGR2)
- Apply via ORAH's funding application process
The ORAH Project Board of Trustees will determine allocations to various charities within the following restraints:
- 50 – 75% to Australian domestic focused charities
- 25 – 50% to offshore focused charities
We provide full transparency to ORAH Fund investors regarding fees earned and allocations made.
