Kehal Yisroel D'Chasidei Gur is a London-based Orthodox Jewish charity established in 2006. It is dedicated to grantmaking that advances the religious, educational, health, poverty relief, and welfare needs of the Chasidic Gur community and the broader Orthodox Jewish population. Rooted in traditional Gur Chasidic values of religious observance, communal self-determination, and tzedakah (charitable giving), the funder emphasises prudent stewardship, donor empowerment, and targeted support for the disadvantaged within its faith group. Its funding character blends philanthropy with communal identity, operating a donor-driven voucher model that allows supporters to direct funds efficiently to causes they care about. The charity prioritises faith-specific initiatives and maintains a hyper-local focus on London.

The funder supports religious education, including kollels and schools, Jewish practice and infrastructure, direct poverty and hardship relief, health initiatives and life-saving efforts, and educational and training opportunities. Grants may be used for projects, core costs, or unrestricted needs. The geographical focus is London, particularly Gur-associated neighbourhoods, serving the Chasidic Gur community and the wider Orthodox Jewish population. The funder's approach is donor-driven, with many grants directed through a voucher system that enables supporters to choose specific causes.
