Esher House Charitable Trust

The trust prioritises grants for Jewish faith-based activities and health-related work. It funds unrestricted core costs, ongoing operations, projects, capital, and revenue needs for charities serving communities across England and Wales. There are no thematic sub-restrictions beyond these core areas, and the trust supports a range of work from small local initiatives to broader programmes within its focus. The trust's support extends to both Jewish religious causes and medical, health, and sickness initiatives, covering a broad spectrum of activities under these themes.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities operating in England and Wales. The trust has no strict income thresholds but shows a preference for smaller to medium-sized organisations. Individuals are not eligible. While the trust supports Jewish religious causes, there is no religious restriction on applicants; any registered charity working in the priority areas may be considered. Beneficiaries of the funded work include communities served by these charities, with a focus on those benefiting from Jewish faith activities and health-related services.

The trust does not fund non-charitable entities, individuals, or causes outside its focus on Jewish faith and health. It also does not support organisations based outside England and Wales or activities unrelated to its core areas. Additionally, the trust does not accept unsolicited applications, as grants are awarded solely at trustee discretion.

The trust operates by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited applications. Grants are awarded at the trustees’ discretion and can cover core costs, projects, capital, or revenue needs. The approach is closed and targeted, ensuring support for vetted organisational priorities. The trust provides unrestricted funding, allowing recipients flexibility in how they use the grants to further their charitable work.
