Kolel Bys Shlome Arye Trust is a UK-registered charity established in 2002, dedicated to advancing Orthodox Jewish religious education and relieving poverty among Orthodox Jews. It also supports the aged and infirm and promotes Orthodox Jewish religious activities both nationally and overseas. The Trust operates a college for advanced Jewish studies, emphasising rigorous textual scholarship and religious observance. Governed by a small board of trustees rooted in the Orthodox scholarly community, the organisation channels its income into sustaining religious education and welfare. This reflects a deeply focused ethos of fidelity to Orthodox traditions. The Trust's work is concentrated on supporting Orthodox Jewish institutions and individuals, making it a specialist funder within its community.
What Kolel Bys Shlome Arye Trust funds
The Trust funds advanced religious study programmes, stipends for scholars, and the maintenance of kolels (study colleges). It also supports core costs for Orthodox Jewish institutions and provides emergency relief for impoverished, elderly, or infirm Orthodox Jews. Funding extends to community infrastructure in key areas such as North London and potentially abroad. The Trust promotes Orthodox Jewish religious activities through its own college and by supporting external organisations. Its focus is on Orthodox Jewish education and welfare, with a particular emphasis on advanced textual study and religious observance.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities within the Orthodox Jewish sector. The Trust prioritises organisations engaged in higher religious learning or those supporting Orthodox Jewish individuals facing hardship. Beneficiaries are strictly Orthodox Jewish individuals, communities, and organisations. The Trust prefers small to medium-sized charities with a strong connection to the Orthodox community, particularly those based in North London. There are no strict geographic restrictions, but the focus is on the UK. The Trust does not accept applications from outside the Orthodox Jewish faith context.
What Kolel Bys Shlome Arye Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund non-Orthodox causes, secular projects, or broad philanthropic initiatives. It excludes any activity that falls outside the Orthodox Jewish tradition, including general community support or interfaith work. The Trust's narrow mandate means it avoids supporting projects that are not directly related to Orthodox Jewish religious education or welfare.
How they like to fund
The Trust operates on an invite-only basis and does not accept unsolicited applications. Grants are awarded at the trustees' discretion, based on identified needs within the Orthodox Jewish community. The Trust typically funds core costs, stipends, and emergency relief, supporting its own educational mission and targeted welfare. It works through a closed network, prioritising organisations known to the trustees.
