register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Ellinson Foundation Limited
Ellinson Foundation Limited is a discreet, family-led grantmaking charity governed by a small board of trustees. Its singular mission is to promote and assist Jewish charitable activities, institutions, and funds in the UK and abroad. Rooted in a heritage-minded ethos, it sustains Jewish communal infrastructure through consistent, reliable grants, emphasizing partnership with established organizations to advance welfare, education, culture, and community life. The foundation operates without a public website or detailed strategy, reflecting a traditional philosophy of enabling vital Jewish services year-on-year.
What Ellinson Foundation Limited funds
The foundation supports core costs, capacity building, running costs, and programme delivery for Jewish synagogues, schools, welfare agencies, and cultural projects. It prioritizes thematic areas such as community support and institutional strengthening, favoring medium to large established charities over grassroots or startups. There are no geographic restrictions beyond its Jewish focus, allowing support for charities serving Jewish communities worldwide. This includes work in fostering community life, advancing education, and sustaining cultural activities within the Jewish context.
Who can apply
Eligible entities are strictly UK-registered charities serving Jewish communities. The foundation prefers proven, established organizations with a track record, though there are no formal income thresholds. Its focus is on organizational stability and community impact, with a clear emphasis on partnership with recognized institutions that demonstrate reliability in serving the Jewish charitable sector.
What Ellinson Foundation Limited doesn't fund
The foundation excludes non-Jewish causes, capital-only projects, and unknown or unsolicited applicants. Grants are awarded discretionarily to pre-selected recipients, meaning charities that have not been identified through trustee networks are unlikely to receive support.
How they like to fund
Grants are awarded discretionarily on a rolling basis through trustee networks to pre-selected recipients. The foundation does not accept unsolicited applications and works by invitation only. Funding style emphasizes consistent, reliable support for established organizations, typically covering both programme delivery and operational costs.
