Huntingdon Foundation Limited is a London-based charitable company limited by guarantee, established in 1982. Governed by trustees including the Perl family, its mission is to advance Jewish education by supporting schools and educational organisations within the UK Jewish community. The foundation is committed to sustaining high-quality Jewish learning, fostering communal identity, and enhancing educational infrastructure. It takes a prudent, long-term approach to its endowment, prioritising lasting impact over short-term spending. Its funding character is conservative and focused, acting as a stable, high-value backer for major Jewish educational institutions rather than a broad-granting body.
What Huntingdon Foundation Limited funds
The foundation supports Jewish schools and aligned registered charities across the UK, with a particular concentration in London alongside institutions nationwide. Funding covers core operational costs, capital projects such as new facilities, capacity building, and general support. The underlying aim is to sustain high-quality Jewish learning, strengthen communal identity, and improve the educational infrastructure available to Jewish pupils and staff in established institutions. The work centres on enduring institutions rather than short-term projects, reflecting a preference for organisations with significant scale and a track record in Jewish education. While the majority of supported institutions are based in London, the foundation's reach extends to Jewish educational organisations throughout the country.
Who can apply
Eligible organisations are UK-registered charities and academic institutions that demonstrably advance Jewish education. The foundation typically supports medium to large organisations with significant scale, though no formal income thresholds apply. Beneficiaries are primarily Jewish pupils and staff within established UK Jewish schools and aligned charities. Because trustees identify grantees through their networks, prospective applicants should not submit unsolicited requests; consideration is by invitation from the foundation.
What Huntingdon Foundation Limited doesn't fund
The foundation is highly focused and does not support non-Jewish causes, informal initiatives, grassroots or community groups, overseas work, or direct support to individuals or communities. It also does not fund organisations that are not demonstrably advancing Jewish education within the UK.
How they like to fund
Funding is invite-only, with trustees identifying grantee organisations through their own networks; there is no public application process. The foundation supports core operational costs, capital projects, capacity building and general support, and seeks to act as a stable, high-value backer for organisations pursuing sustainable advancement in Jewish education.
