register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Kollel Satmar
Kollel Satmar is a UK-registered charity rooted in the Satmar Hasidic movement, dedicated to advancing Orthodox Jewish faith through religious education and facilities. Its mission centres on preserving strict religious observance, Torah learning, and communal leadership in diaspora communities, with values built around immersive study, rabbinic authority, and internal community development. Operating primarily from London's Stamford Hill, it channels donations into Satmar-aligned initiatives, reflecting a traditional, insular approach. This charity sustains kollels—institutions for full-time adult Talmudic scholarship—and prioritises internal community development over broader philanthropy.
What Kollel Satmar funds
Kollel Satmar funds the core operations of affiliated kollels and yeshivas, including stipends for scholars (avreichim), libraries, study halls, and the communal infrastructure essential to Orthodox Jewish life. It supports the production of educators, rabbis, and role models through advanced Torah study. The charity focuses on Satmar-aligned initiatives across Stamford Hill, Hackney, Haringey, and Kent. Support is directed exclusively towards advanced Torah study and related communal needs, covering both the running costs of these institutions and the materials needed for study.
Who can apply
Only Satmar-controlled or closely affiliated Orthodox Jewish institutions in Stamford Hill, Hackney, Haringey, or Kent are eligible for support. The charity prioritises full-time Orthodox Jewish students and the wider Charedi community they serve. There is no public application process; eligibility is determined internally by trustees and rabbinic leaders. Organisations seeking funding must be deeply aligned with the Satmar tradition and its values of strict religious observance and immersive Torah study.
What Kollel Satmar doesn't fund
Kollel Satmar does not fund non-Jewish causes, general projects outside advanced Torah study, or initiatives from external, unaffiliated groups. It eschews broad grants and does not support outsider initiatives that fall outside the Satmar Hasidic community. The charity's focus is exclusively on its own internal network, so applications from unrelated organisations are not considered.
How they like to fund
Funding is allocated internally by trustees and rabbinic leaders based on communal needs. The charity does not accept unsolicited applications; support is directed only to existing partners and closely affiliated institutions. Kollel Satmar provides grants for core operations, including stipends, study spaces, and library resources, prioritising the sustainability of its kollels and yeshivas.
