Alte Feiga Trust

The Trust funds education initiatives such as tuition fees and scholarships for disadvantaged students, poverty relief including living costs and emergencies, and religious practices. Grants may cover project funding, core costs, and emergency aid. While the focus is on Hackney's Orthodox Jewish community, funding is not formally restricted by faith. The Trust supports work that serves Hackney residents, particularly those in low-income or vulnerable circumstances.

Eligible recipients include small to medium-sized local charities, grassroots groups, and individuals serving Hackney residents. The Trust prioritises organisations with strong local roots and a focus on low-income or vulnerable beneficiaries. There are no strict income thresholds, and funding is not formally restricted by faith, though the Trust's focus is on Hackney's Orthodox Jewish community. Applications are by invitation only; unsolicited approaches are not accepted.

The Trust does not fund large national charities, organisations operating outside Hackney, or public fundraising campaigns. It avoids ventures that carry significant financial risk and does not accept unsolicited applications. The Trust prefers to work quietly through personal relationships rather than through open calls or strategic frameworks.

Funding is invite-only and decisions are made ad hoc through trustees' discretion and community knowledge. Grants can be unrestricted or purpose-designated, covering project costs, core costs, and emergency aid. The Trust emphasises personal relationships and financial stewardship over formal application processes or impact frameworks.
