register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Kollel Gur Trust
Kollel Gur Trust is a UK-registered charity established in 1969, dedicated to advancing Orthodox Jewish religion and religious education worldwide, alongside relieving poverty, sickness, and hardship among Jewish people. Based in the London Borough of Hackney, the Trust's ethos emphasises educational excellence, tradition preservation, and community welfare within Orthodox Judaism, a mission that has remained steadfast over decades. The Trust primarily funds bursaries and scholarships for full-time advanced Talmudical study by mature post-secondary students at the Kollel Gur institute. A smaller portion of grants supports institutional Orthodox Jewish education, poverty relief, and social welfare initiatives tied to the community. Funding is directed exclusively to Jewish individuals or closely affiliated bodies, with a strong focus on Hackney, London. Distinctively, the Trust limits its funding to pre-selected mature students enrolled at Kollel Gur; unsolicited applications from organisations or unaffiliated individuals are not accepted. It excludes all non-Orthodox Jewish contexts, external projects, and broad charities, making it a highly specialised funder.
