The Chasodim Fund is a UK-registered grant-making trust established in 2000, rooted in a traditional philanthropic ethos. Its mission centres on relieving poverty, advancing religion, and promoting religious education, particularly within the Jewish community in England and Wales. The Fund is governed by trustees who emphasise rigorous financial controls, safeguarding, and risk management, ensuring compliant, discretionary grant-making. It does not operate with a proactive strategic agenda, instead making grants on an ad hoc basis. The Fund supports charitable activities that align with its core themes, with a strong preference for faith-inspired initiatives.
What Chasodim Fund funds
The Fund supports charities and voluntary organisations working in poverty prevention and relief, education and training, religious activities, and general charitable needs. It funds both project work and core costs, with a particular focus on initiatives that benefit communities and are rooted in faith. The Fund's grants are directed towards small to medium-sized organisations operating in England and Wales, with a special emphasis on the Jewish community. It prioritises poverty relief and religious education over capital projects, emergency appeals, or capacity-building support.
Who can apply
Eligible organisations are UK-registered charities and community groups, particularly small to medium-sized entities. The Fund operates in England and Wales, without strict income thresholds or geographic sub-restrictions. It prioritises organisations with a faith-inspired approach, especially those serving the Jewish community. The Fund does not support individuals directly. Its invite-only model means that only charities with existing connections to the trustees are considered, making a strong alignment with the Fund's mission essential.
What Chasodim Fund doesn't fund
The Fund does not support individuals directly. It also excludes capital projects, emergency appeals, and capacity-building initiatives. The focus is on poverty relief and religious education, so proposals outside these areas are unlikely to be considered. The Fund does not accept unsolicited applications, as it operates on an invite-only basis.
How they like to fund
The Chasodim Fund operates on an invite-only basis, with trustees making ad hoc decisions as needs arise. It funds both project work and core costs, but does not have a fixed application cycle or publicly advertised criteria. The Fund's approach is discretionary, with a focus on aligned, robust proposals rather than proactive outreach. There is no mention of multi-year commitments or match funding in the sources.
