Localtrent Limited is a charitable company established in 1982 by the Weiss family, dedicated to advancing the Orthodox Jewish faith, relieving poverty, and supporting aligned charitable causes for public benefit. Governed by family members with expertise in property investment, it generates stable income through prudent financial stewardship to fund strategic grants. The funder upholds traditional Jewish life, religious principles, and community resilience, operating exclusively within the Orthodox Jewish community in England and Wales. Its family-led, investment-backed model ensures focused support for initiatives that share its religious commitments.
What Localtrent Limited funds
The funder supports activities that advance the Orthodox Jewish faith, relieve poverty, and promote education and youth work within the Orthodox Jewish community. Grants cover core funding, projects, operational needs, and capital expenditure for religious schools, synagogues, educational institutions, and poverty alleviation efforts. Priority is given to medium-to-large, well-established Orthodox Jewish bodies. All funding is directed to initiatives in England and Wales.
