The Adar Charitable Trust is a discreet grant-making trust established in 1990, managed by a small board of two trustees. Its core mission is to advance education in the Orthodox Jewish faith, promote the Orthodox Jewish religion, and relieve poverty. The Trust takes a traditional, low-profile approach, emphasising robust governance, financial controls, risk management, and safeguarding, with a focus on enduring religious and educational values over publicised strategies. It is a niche supporter of faith-based education and poverty relief, operating with quiet consistency and religious exclusivity.
What Adar Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds initiatives that advance Orthodox Jewish education and religious practice, alongside poverty prevention or relief. It provides grants for general charitable purposes, project work, and core costs. The Trust supports UK-registered charities serving the Orthodox Jewish community, with a historical preference for small- and medium-sized charities whose activities align closely with these priorities. All funded activities are within England and Wales.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities operating exclusively in England and Wales, with a strong Orthodox Jewish focus. The Trust has a historical preference for small- and medium-sized charities whose activities align closely with its religious and educational priorities. Unsolicited applications are not accepted, as trustees identify and approach suitable organisations directly.
What Adar Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund individuals, non-charities, activities outside England and Wales, capital projects, emergencies, or capacity building. It also does not support initiatives misaligned with Orthodox Judaism.
