register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Bulanstar Limited
Bulanstar Limited is a grant-making charitable company established in 1978, governed by trustees from the Mayersohn and Mayerson families. Its core mission is to advance the Orthodox Jewish faith by providing grants exclusively to other charities and voluntary organisations across England and Wales. The trust operates with a stable, family-led governance structure and funds its activities through donations, legacies, and investments, maintaining a steadfast commitment to religious propagation. Distinctively, Bulanstar eschews publicity, grantee lists, or strategic guidance, operating as a discreet, trustee-driven funder with no evolution beyond its foundational Jewish religious purpose.
What Bulanstar Limited funds
The trust supports organisational work dedicated to Orthodox Jewish religious advancement, including worship, education, and related charitable activities. Grants enable charities and voluntary organisations to propagate the Orthodox Jewish faith across England and Wales. All funded activities must demonstrably advance Orthodox Jewish objectives; the trust does not support broader charitable work outside this scope. The focus is exclusively on faith-based initiatives directly aligned with the trust's religious purpose.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and voluntary organisations with a demonstrable focus on Orthodox Jewish advancement. The trust prefers organisations with an established track record in religious work, although no formal income thresholds apply. Organisations must be based and operating in England or Wales. The trust does not fund individuals, unregistered groups, or activities outside this geographic area.
What Bulanstar Limited doesn't fund
The trust does not fund individuals, grassroots groups, or unregistered organisations. It excludes all non-religious causes, including health, education, community services, and any activities not directly advancing the Orthodox Jewish faith. Activities outside England and Wales are not supported.
How they like to fund
Grants are awarded at the trustees' discretion, with no public announcement of grant rounds or recipients. The trust does not publish strategic guidance or seek to influence how its funds are used beyond the religious purpose. This discreet approach reflects its family-led governance.
