Keren Hinda is a UK-registered charitable trust established in 1997, dedicated exclusively to advancing Orthodox Jewish education and alleviating poverty within the Orthodox Jewish community in England and Wales. Operating under voluntary trustees, it provides targeted financial relief to reduce barriers to religious learning and support vulnerable individuals, including children, youth, elderly, and disabled people. Its needs-driven approach prioritises public benefit and sustained backing for community wellbeing through both institutional and individual aid. The trust funds Orthodox Jewish religious education initiatives and poverty relief efforts, focusing on core costs and immediate needs.
What Keren Hinda funds
The trust supports Orthodox Jewish religious education—including tuition, school fees, and learning resources—alongside poverty relief that covers welfare for hardship, essential living costs, and support for vulnerable groups such as children, youth, elderly, and disabled people. Grants are directed to aligned charities and directly to individuals, prioritising core costs and immediate needs. All funding is confined to the Orthodox Jewish community in England and Wales.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities based in England and Wales that serve the Orthodox Jewish community. Individuals may also receive assistance. The trust shows a preference for small- to medium-sized, community-based organisations. There are no formal income thresholds. Applicants must be aligned with the Orthodox Jewish faith, and the trust prioritises the community's vulnerable groups, including children, youth, elderly, and disabled people.
What Keren Hinda doesn't fund
The trust does not fund non-Orthodox Jewish causes or activities unrelated to its mission. It also does not provide capital or seed funding. Grants are not available for capital projects, seed funding, or initiatives outside the Orthodox Jewish community in England and Wales. The trust does not support general charitable purposes beyond its focus on education and poverty relief.
