The Amr Sciama Charitable Trust is a family-led grant-making charity established in 2004, administered by the Sciama family. It focuses on relieving poverty and hardship among Jewish people, advancing the Jewish religion through educational initiatives, and supporting aligned charitable causes. The Trust operates with a low public profile, valuing flexibility, discretion, and responsiveness to emerging needs in Jewish communal life.
What Amr Sciama Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds Jewish-focused welfare and education, including poverty relief, support for children, youth, elderly, and disabled individuals in Jewish communities, as well as health, disability, and special projects with clear Jewish beneficiaries. Their grants support project delivery, core costs, welfare activities, educational programmes, and some capital needs. A hallmark of the Trust is its sustained family commitment to strengthening Jewish communal life through dependable, responsive funding for grassroots and mid-sized charities serving Jewish communities in England and Wales.
Who can apply
Grants are made to established UK-registered charities in England and Wales, prioritising small to medium-sized organisations serving Jewish communities. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; funding is by invitation or through trustee networks. Beneficiaries must be Jewish individuals or communities, and the Trust supports charities rather than individuals directly.

The Trust does not support non-charitable, commercial, or personal benefit activities, causes outside England and Wales, or non-Jewish causes. It does not make grants to individuals.
