The B E Perl Charitable Trust was established in 1981 by Benjamin Eliezer Perl MBE as a family-founded charity. Its mission is to strengthen and sustain Orthodox Jewish life and learning by channeling investment income into long-term, sustainable grants. The Trust is rooted in family values and prioritises religious education, cultural heritage preservation, and community welfare. It maintains a stable ethos focused on reinforcing tradition and continuity rather than innovation, supporting established institutions within Orthodox Jewish networks.
What B E Perl Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds Orthodox Jewish education, cultural heritage preservation, and community welfare. It supports core operations, revenue costs, and educational programmes at established schools and educational institutions. Occasional support is given for individual needs within Orthodox Jewish networks. Geographically, the Trust focuses on North London (Barnet, Brent, Hackney) and Hertfordshire. Beneficiaries include youth and families within Orthodox Jewish communities, with priority given to medium-to-large organisations that serve these groups.
Who can apply
The Trust funds UK-registered charities, academic institutions, and community groups that have a clear Orthodox Jewish mission and strong local ties. Beneficiaries are typically medium-to-large organisations, including established schools and educational bodies. The Trust prioritises those serving Orthodox Jewish communities, particularly youth and families. Smaller startups and grassroots groups rarely fit its criteria. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications.
What B E Perl Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not support startups, grassroots groups, or projects outside its geographic focus (North London and Hertfordshire) or religious criteria (Orthodox Jewish mission). It also avoids broad or experimental projects, instead concentrating on established, traditional community work.
How they like to fund
The Trust operates on an invite-only basis, targeting pre-selected allies through internal processes without public application rounds. It provides long-term, sustainable grants that can support both core operations and project costs. Its family-led governance ensures a hyper-focused, consistent approach to strengthening Orthodox Jewish education and community life.
