register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Chalfords Limited
Chalfords Limited is a grant-making charitable company established in 1983, based in London and governed by a board of family trustees. Its mission is to advance Jewish education, training, religious activities, and poverty relief exclusively for Jewish communities, sustaining Jewish life, faith, heritage, and welfare in the UK. The Trust operates on an entirely unsolicited basis, with trustees identifying beneficiaries through direct sector knowledge rather than open applications. This tightly focused, trustee-led approach ensures support goes directly to Jewish causes without a competitive application process.
What Chalfords Limited funds
The funder supports Jewish charitable organisations and academic institutions across England and Wales, providing grants for core costs, projects, and capacity building. It prioritises well-established schools, prominent charities, and influential organisations of various sizes that align with its Jewish-focused mission. Specific areas of support include Jewish education, training, religious activities, poverty relief, heritage, and faith-related needs. The Trust also funds capacity building initiatives to strengthen the long-term sustainability of beneficiary organisations.
Who can apply
Eligibility is limited to UK-registered charities and academic institutions that serve Jewish communities exclusively, operating in England or Wales. The funder prioritises medium to large established schools, prominent charities, and influential organisations of varying income levels, with a preference for substantial entities. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; trustees identify beneficiaries through direct sector knowledge.
What Chalfords Limited doesn't fund
Chalfords excludes funding for medical, scientific, technological, or computer equipment, and capital infrastructure in those areas. It does not accept unsolicited approaches or open applications, and funding is directed solely to Jewish causes.
