Golders Charitable Trust

The Trust funds a diverse range of initiatives including educational scholarships and schooling support, poverty relief through hardship grants to individuals and families, and religious activities such as synagogue operations and community cohesion programmes. Grants can be used for projects, core costs, emergency aid, and religious infrastructure. The Trust focuses its support on London, with a particular emphasis on the Jewish community and other vulnerable groups. It prioritises grassroots organisations that are deeply embedded in their local area, providing flexible funding for both ongoing operations and urgent needs.

The Trust accepts applications only by invitation through trustee referrals, with no public application process. It supports UK-registered charities, community groups, voluntary bodies, and referred individuals. Priority is given to small and medium-sized organisations that serve London's vulnerable populations, particularly the Jewish community. Organisations with strong connections to Jewish education, poverty relief, or faith-based work in London are most likely to align with the Trust's focus.

The Trust does not fund activities outside London. It also excludes causes that are not aligned with its Jewish values and focus on community welfare, education, and poverty relief. Organisations that do not serve London's vulnerable populations or lack a connection to the Jewish community are unlikely to be considered.

The Trust operates by invitation only, with grants made through trustee referrals. It funds a range of needs including project costs, core costs, emergency aid, and religious infrastructure. The Trust's approach is based on long-term relationships, providing consistent support to grassroots organisations. It does not accept unsolicited applications or have a public application process.
