Chaya Reizel Hirsch Memorial Fund Ltd

The fund supports Orthodox Jewish educational institutions, religious organisations, synagogues, study programmes, medical aid, and direct relief for impoverished or needy individuals. Funding covers core costs, projects, and capital builds such as religious facilities. Support is provided primarily in the UK, but occasionally abroad. Specific themes include promoting religious practice, relieving poverty, and advancing welfare within Orthodox Jewish communities. The fund prioritises work that fosters religious and communal resilience, with no restrictions on income or size of applicant.

Eligibility is limited to UK-based Orthodox Jewish beneficiaries or entities. The fund supports both organisations—such as schools, synagogues, and charities—and individuals in need. There are no income or size restrictions, making it suitable for small groups, large institutions, or individuals. Applicants must be aligned with Orthodox Jewish values. The fund does not accept unsolicited applications; approaches are made by letter to the trustees.

The fund does not support any non-Jewish or non-Orthodox causes. This includes organisations or individuals not aligned with Orthodox Jewish faith and practice. Any activity outside the promotion of Orthodox Judaism, education, religious practice, poverty relief, or welfare support is excluded.

The fund provides grants for core costs, projects, and capital builds. It operates with trustee-led flexibility, drawing on investment income from a long-term growth strategy. The fund does not accept unsolicited applications, reflecting its proactive, values-driven approach to identifying and supporting worthy causes within the Orthodox Jewish community.
