About Jusaca Charitable Trust

The Jusaca Charitable Trust was established in 1992 by philanthropist Ralph Neville Emanuel. It is a discretionary grant-making trust dedicated to public benefit through alleviating poverty, advancing health and education, supporting arts and research, promoting religious activities, and providing decent housing. Rooted in the founder's legacy of service, generosity, and consistency, the Trust prioritises Jewish charities – those advancing Jewish people, communities, or heritage – while also supporting a wide range of non-Jewish causes both in the UK and overseas. The Trust has no website or formal application forms, and operates with a highly flexible, founder-driven approach.

What Jusaca Charitable Trust funds

The Trust funds a broad array of generalist causes, including poverty relief, homelessness, mental health, social welfare, education, anti-slavery efforts, refugee aid, and humanitarian priorities. Grant types encompass project funding, core costs, unrestricted support, capital grants, and organisational development. The Trust has no fixed geographic restrictions, funding both domestic and international charities, with a particular focus on medium-sized organisations with strong governance.
