About Bourneheights Limited

Bourneheights Limited is a grant-making charity established in 1984, governed by a small board of trustees and a Chief Executive. Its mission is to advance Jewish religious education and relieve poverty, primarily through sustained support of UK-based charitable institutions serving Jewish communities. The Trust manages substantial endowments and legacies with a conservative stewardship approach, prioritising institutional core costs and general activities over direct individual aid. It operates discreetly, with a highly specialised Jewish-only remit that shapes every aspect of its funding. The charity’s long-standing focus on faith-based education and welfare reflects its commitment to the continuity and wellbeing of Jewish life in the UK.

What Bourneheights Limited funds

The Trust funds projects and operations that advance Jewish religious education, including support for schools, synagogues, and youth programmes. It also provides poverty relief for Jewish communities, encompassing hardship support and welfare services. All funding is directed towards UK-registered charities that serve ethnic or racial Jewish groups. The Trust prioritises institutional core costs and general activities over project-specific or capital expenditure. Its support is typically ongoing, sustaining established organisations that demonstrate a clear alignment with its charitable objects.

Who can apply

Grants are awarded to UK-registered charities that are established and have a proven track record. The Trust’s remit is exclusively Jewish, so only organisations that serve Jewish communities and advance Jewish religious education or poverty relief are considered. Beneficiaries must be charities with a clear focus on ethnic or racial Jewish groups. There are no specified income limits, but the Trust prefers organisations with a solid history over small grassroots groups. Unsolicited applications are not accepted.

What Bourneheights Limited doesn't fund

The Trust does not support non-Jewish causes, individuals, or direct individual aid. It also excludes project-specific or capital funding, instead focusing on institutional core costs and general activities. Unproven or newly formed organisations are unlikely to receive funding. The Trust’s remit is highly specialised, so it does not fund broader community causes that fall outside its Jewish-focused objects.

How they like to fund

Grants are awarded at the trustees’ discretion, and unsolicited applications are not accepted. The Trust operates by invitation only, maintaining a low-profile, trustee-led approach. It typically funds core costs and general activities, supporting institutions on a sustained basis rather than through one-off project grants. The Trust does not hold open calls or publish application procedures.
