Aguda Keren L'Dovid is a trustee-led charitable trust established in 1980 and based in Prestwich, Manchester. Its mission is to advance Judaism and Jewish education among Jewish boys and men, while relieving poverty within the Jewish community. The trust embodies conservative values of faith, learning, and welfare, and operates with a low-profile, risk-averse approach, granting only from available reserves. It focuses its support on the local Jewish community in Greater Manchester, prioritising direct communal impact over national or international efforts. The trust is a steady, specialist supporter of faith-driven communal charities with a precise geographic and thematic alignment.

Some core costs for communal religious and welfare activities are also considered. Funding is directed exclusively to charities serving the Jewish community in Greater Manchester, focusing on grassroots, locally embedded work rather than national or international projects.
