chinuch20.orgAbout Chinuch 20
Chinuch 20, also known as Chomesh L'Chinuch, is a UK-registered charity established in 2017 to advance Orthodox Jewish faith by alleviating financial pressures on North West London Jewish community schools. Its core mission ensures every child receives high-quality Torah education regardless of family income, guided by rabbinic principles prioritising educational tzedokah. Distinctively volunteer-led with zero overheads or salaried staff, it mobilises communal responsibility by urging synagogue members to redirect a portion of their charitable giving to local Orthodox schools, fostering predictable, grassroots funding and reducing reliance on major donors.
What Chinuch 20 funds
The funder exclusively supports Orthodox Jewish primary and secondary schools in North West London. Grants provide unrestricted funding for core operating costs, tuition subsidies, and general expenses, promoting Torah learning, communal identity, and religious continuity. The focus is on medium-to-large institutions within the participating synagogue network, ensuring that high-quality Jewish education remains accessible to all children in the community. This model emphasises direct, flexible aid unique to its communal solidarity.
Who can apply
Eligibility is limited to pre-identified Orthodox Jewish primary and secondary schools in North West London that serve children of participating synagogue members. The funder only considers academic institutions; unsolicited applications are not accepted. Schools must be part of the communal network and aligned with the Orthodox Jewish faith. The charity typically supports medium-to-large institutions within this specific geographic and communal framework.
What Chinuch 20 doesn't fund
Chinuch 20 does not fund non-Orthodox entities, organisations that are not schools, capital projects, or restricted funding. It also excludes any organisations outside the North West London geographic area and those not part of the participating synagogue network. Unsolicited applications are not accepted, so only pre-identified schools are considered.
How they like to fund
Chinuch 20 provides unrestricted funding for core operating costs, tuition subsidies, and general expenses. Grants are offered on a recurring basis to pre-identified schools within the network. The charity is volunteer-led with no overheads, ensuring all funds go directly to schools. It does not accept unsolicited applications and works by invitation only, with allocations determined through internal consultation with participating synagogues.
