The Davidav Charitable Trust is an independent grant-making charity, established in 2007. It works for broad public benefit, guided by values of inclusivity, compassion and pragmatic support. The Trust takes a generalist approach without narrow focus, aiming to support vulnerable groups through steady, flexible funding. It maintains a generalist ethos without doctrinal restrictions, sustaining grant-making across England and Wales. The Trust is an unincorporated UK charity, pursuing broad charitable purposes for public benefit with an emphasis on relieving poverty, advancing education, promoting the Jewish religion, and supporting general community wellbeing.
What Davidav Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds diverse initiatives across education and training, health and lifesaving, religious activities including Jewish community support, poverty prevention and relief, and arts, culture, heritage and science. It can support projects, core costs, capacity-building, or community activities. Grants are made to organisations in England and Wales, with a preference for smaller charities. Examples of funded work include educational programmes, cultural events, and poverty relief efforts. The Trust's generalist approach means it considers a wide range of charitable activities within its broad purposes.
Who can apply
The Trust supports UK-registered charities based in England or Wales, with a preference for smaller organisations. Beneficiaries include children and young people, older people, people with disabilities, and people of specific ethnic origins. No strict income thresholds apply, though the Trust operates geographically without regional preferences within England and Wales. It does not accept unsolicited applications. Eligible legal entities include UK-registered charities and community groups.
What Davidav Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund capital projects, emergency appeals, or activities outside its broad charitable purposes. It avoids funding that falls outside its generalist charitable objectives, prioritising steady grant-making over one-off or capital-intensive initiatives.
How they like to fund
The Trust is distinctive for its flexible and responsive funding style. It supports projects, core costs, capacity-building, and community activities. All grants are made at the trustees' discretion; the Trust does not accept unsolicited applications and has no public guidelines or forms. Awards are made on an ad hoc basis, reflecting a non-strategic approach focused on clear public benefit.
