broomfoundation.org.ukAbout Broom Foundation
The Broom Foundation is an independent UK-registered charity established in 1995, dedicated to facilitating secure and efficient charitable giving through a unique charity voucher system that functions like a dedicated banking account for philanthropy. Its mission centers on advancing education—particularly within orthodox Judaism—relieving poverty in the Jewish community, and supporting general charitable purposes, guided by donor recommendations under trustee discretion to ensure compliance with UK charity law. Core values emphasize simplicity, security, personal support, and maximising donor impact. The Foundation operates as a giving intermediary, empowering donor choice while prioritising Jewish communal needs, differentiating it from traditional grantmakers through its voucher model.
What Broom Foundation funds
The Foundation prioritises funding for education and training, especially Jewish schools and orthodox institutions, poverty alleviation targeting Jewish beneficiaries or specific ethnic groups, and religious activities. Support is provided as unrestricted general donations for core costs or projects, and spans small grassroots organisations to large national charities, with a focus on local Jewish educational establishments and poverty relief initiatives. The Foundation's giving is guided by donor recommendations, ensuring funds reach causes aligned with its mission across England, Wales, and Scotland.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities and community groups that can receive vouchers. There are no income thresholds, but entities must register for payment processing. Funding is strictly donor-driven, and no unsolicited applications are accepted. The Foundation prioritises organisations serving Jewish communities, particularly in education and poverty relief, though support can extend to general charitable purposes as directed by donors.
What Broom Foundation doesn't fund
The Foundation excludes any funding involving direct donor benefits or services in exchange, upholding pure voluntary giving. It does not support activities that provide personal advantage to donors, ensuring all grants are made for charitable purposes only.
