Jordan Max Goodman Charitable Trust

The trust supports UK-registered charities across general charitable purposes, with a particular emphasis on Jewish and humanitarian causes. Examples include organisations such as World Jewish Relief. Funding is unrestricted, so it can be used for core costs, project expenses, or other needs identified by the charity. There are no geographic restrictions within the UK, and the trust does not limit itself to specific themes or sectors. Instead, trustees choose causes based on their discretion and familiarity. The trust tends to support recognised, established institutions rather than smaller grassroots groups. Its flexible approach means it can respond to a wide variety of charitable needs, but it does not publish specific priorities or outcome targets.

Only UK-registered charities are eligible to receive funding. The trust does not impose income thresholds or geographic sub-focus within the UK. There are no religious restrictions, and charities from any faith background can apply, though the trust has a noted interest in Jewish and humanitarian work. The trust favours well-established, recognised institutions over smaller or newer grassroots organisations. It does not support individuals or non-charitable entities. Charities that have a connection with the trustees or are well-known in the sector are more likely to be considered, as the trust operates by invitation only.

The trust does not support individuals, whether as direct beneficiaries or for personal causes. It does not accept unsolicited applications; all grants arise from trustee initiative or prior familiarity. The trust also tends to avoid funding grassroots groups that are not yet established as recognised charities. There are no fixed exclusions by cause area, but the trust deliberately avoids public application processes and thematic priorities, so it will not fund through open rounds or respond to uninvited requests.

The trust funds on an invitation-only basis, with grants arising from trustee initiative or prior familiarity. Funding is unrestricted, so it can be used for core costs or projects. The trust does not have public programmes, application rounds, or fixed thematic priorities.
