Alymos Ltd

Alymos Ltd is a grant-making charity dedicated to advancing Orthodox Jewish education and relieving poverty and sickness, primarily benefiting the Orthodox Jewish community in Hackney, London, while extending support to aligned causes UK-wide. Guided by its governing documents, it embodies Orthodox Jewish philanthropic traditions through prompt, direct fund distribution without bureaucratic hurdles, emphasizing community welfare, faith-based learning, and immediate relief for those in hardship. Trustees steward resources judiciously, prioritizing quick deployment to charities, voluntary bodies, and individuals in need.

It funds thematic priorities like Orthodox Jewish educational programs, welfare assistance, poverty alleviation, and health support, including project grants, core funding for small organizations, and direct aid to individuals. Beneficiaries typically include schools, community groups, and grassroots initiatives serving Jewish communities, with flexibility for broader public benefit aligned to its objects.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups with no strict income limits, though it prefers small to medium-sized entities focused on Jewish causes; geographic focus is Hackney but open to any UK areas. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—grants are awarded at trustees' discretion on a rolling basis, with no deadlines or formal process.

Typical grants range from a few hundred to several thousand pounds annually, favoring modest awards over large capital projects or capacity building. Distinctive for its trustee-led, responsive model and unwavering religious focus, Alymos stands out by shunning applications in favor of proactive, need-based giving rooted in Hackney's Orthodox Jewish needs, excluding non-aligned secular or unrelated activities.
