register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Keren Amha Limited
Keren Amha Limited is a small, private charity established in 2007, registered in England and Wales. Led by trustees Abraham and Anita Gefilhaus since its founding, the charity exists to advance the Orthodox Jewish faith, promote Jewish education, and relieve poverty among Orthodox Jewish individuals and communities. Its mission emphasises religious duty, mutual aid, and preserving Orthodox Jewish identity through discreet, needs-based support. The charity fosters community resilience by funding faith-based activities, learning, and practical hardship relief. This trustee-driven, relationship-focused approach prioritises confidentiality and dignity for beneficiaries, distinguishing it from open funders.
What Keren Amha Limited funds
The funder supports religious observance, Jewish educational advancement, and poverty alleviation. It provides grants for immediate needs such as basic living costs, educational resources, and enabling participation in communal life. Its work covers both formal schooling and lifelong learning within the Orthodox Jewish tradition. The charity prefers to fund small to medium-sized Orthodox Jewish charities and community groups based in England, as well as individuals in hardship. Grants are directed towards tangible, community-level impact, often reaching those who are excluded from mainstream aid.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups based in England that serve Orthodox Jewish populations. The funder favours grassroots and modest-sized organisations delivering direct, community-level impact. While there are no fixed income thresholds, it typically works with smaller entities. Individual beneficiaries within the Orthodox Jewish community may also receive support, but the primary applicants are organisations.
What Keren Amha Limited doesn't fund
The funder excludes non-Orthodox Jewish activities, projects based outside England, and anything outside its religious, educational, and poverty relief remit. It does not support non-Orthodox Jewish organisations or initiatives, and limits its grant-making to England.
How they like to fund
Grants are awarded at the trustees' discretion through direct referrals, relationships, and observed needs. The funder does not accept unsolicited applications. It supports both project costs and core needs, providing practical support on an ongoing basis. The approach is relationship-driven, prioritising confidentiality and dignity for beneficiaries.
