Aniyei Haolam Trust

Aniyei Haolam Trust is a UK-registered charity established in 2006, dedicated to relieving poverty, sickness, and infirmity among persons of the Jewish faith worldwide, with a special emphasis on providing financial assistance for wedding expenses to poor Jewish families. Rooted in Jewish traditions of communal responsibility and lovingkindness, its mission ensures dignity and support during hardship, particularly at life milestones like illness or marriage. Core values of compassionate charity, confidentiality, and targeted alleviation of suffering guide its reactive, needs-based approach, blending direct aid to individuals with grants to effective Jewish welfare organizations.

The trust funds poverty relief, medical support for the sick or infirm, and practical family assistance, prioritizing wedding costs to enable dignified celebrations for low-income Jewish households. Beneficiaries are exclusively Jewish individuals, families, or charities addressing material deprivation, health vulnerabilities, or lifecycle needs, with grants supporting both one-off interventions and ongoing welfare projects by communal organizations.

Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities specializing in Jewish social welfare—without income thresholds or geographic limits, though funding spans globally where Jewish need exists—and direct applications from individuals via referrals. It accepts unsolicited proposals on a rolling basis, with trustees reviewing cases regularly for merit, impact, and alignment; typical grants range from £1,000 to £20,000.

Distinctive for its unwavering Jewish-only focus and strategic wedding aid as culturally vital poverty relief, the trust excludes non-Jewish causes, general unrestricted funding, or unaligned activities, favoring proven, confidential support that fosters wellbeing and community cohesion.
