We would advise them to know before beginning their request, what they’re going to do and how that will deliver the aims of JCT. How they’re going to this given the available resources, and who they need to get on board to help them do what they can’t do on their own. And finally, how all this will actually make change happen in the real world.

Extremely good – for such a lean organisation they are responsive and interested.
Look out to long term objectives, even given the inherent delivery risk involved. Some projects can deliver great changes but need time.
They are honest and straightforward and don’t play games, which is refreshing. Very well connected – very valuable.
Don’t know – but anecdotally via those they work with, JCT is regarded as a fantastic outfit.
Gives solid advice on strategy and organisation, and is forthcoming with introductions to other relevant funders and stakeholders.

Seek engagement and interaction to ensure you are wokring along the right lines rather than sending off a cold application.

(As far as I'm aware) they are achieveing their goals - they appear strategic and clear about what they want to do.
They are focussed and very selective, so make sure you are on track with their goals and don't bend yours to meet theirs! The chances of success are small given the high numbers of applications they receive.
We appreciated the opportunity to meet the Director and discuss our application. The Director also provided fairly detailed feedback after the Trustees meeting.

This funder has specific interests, so research what they are, who/what they have funded before, and try to make contact with the trust to develop a relationship first. They also have a very personalised approach which we found very helpful.

I would tell them how helpful the Joffe Trust are as funders, that it's worth first looking on their website on what they currently fund and contacting them for an initial conversation because they are approachable and for us also genuinely want to help the charities they support, asking the right questions to help each charity thrive into the future.

I think the Joffe Trust are very transparent and we can not fault them as a funder.
Wonderful support as a grant funder but also reports are not overwhelming to do as some other funders can be.
Grant Applicant - applied in 2019
They are supportive and informed. They know what they are talking about, and what the issues are in the sector, and are happy to give core funding.
