Elpold Charities Limited, established in 1980, is a private company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. Its mission is to advance the Orthodox Jewish faith and relieve poverty. Funded by property investments and donations, it operates as a discreet, trustee-led secondary funder, distributing grants based on deep community knowledge rather than public solicitations. Its values emphasise religious fidelity, communal support, and public benefit. The charity supports religious advancement, education, and poverty relief within the Orthodox Jewish ecosystem, funding core costs, general activities, and programmes for refugees, impoverished families, and youth education, as well as occasional project, capital, or emergency aid.
What Elpold Charities Limited funds
Elpold funds religious advancement, education, and poverty relief within the Orthodox Jewish community. It supports core costs, general activities, and programmes for refugees, impoverished families, and youth education. Occasional project, capital, or emergency aid is also considered. Grants are directed to UK and select international Orthodox Jewish charities serving communal needs, with a preference for established, mid-sized community institutions. The funder does not support individuals or startups.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities with an Orthodox Jewish focus. The funder prioritises established, mid-sized community institutions over individuals or startups. There are no income thresholds, but a preference for organisations with deep community roots. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; approaches are made through trustees' networks. Non-UK bases are ineligible, though projects abroad may qualify if legally recognised under English law.
What Elpold Charities Limited doesn't fund
Elpold excludes non-Orthodox Jewish causes, individuals, and non-charitable entities. It does not support organisations without a clear Orthodox Jewish focus or those based outside the UK, unless projects abroad meet legal recognition under English law. Startups and very small or unestablished groups are unlikely to be considered.
