About Lonia Limited

Lonia Limited is a London-based charitable company, established in 1981 and registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Its mission focuses on advancing Orthodox Jewish religious life and relieving poverty within the community, guided by a faith-based ethos of stewardship and long-term sustainability. The Trust maintains a low public profile without a website, relying on a substantial investment portfolio to fund grants, emphasising responsible endowment management over broad charitable purposes. The funder prioritises Orthodox Jewish causes, including religious education, synagogues, schools, and other institutions, alongside poverty relief for individuals and families facing financial hardship. It supports project funding, core costs, and unrestricted grants to grassroots groups, mid-sized charities, and larger religious organisations within UK Orthodox Jewish communities, particularly in Greater London and surrounding areas, fostering religious observance and community welfare.

The funder works with grassroots groups, mid-sized charities, and larger religious organisations, all within the Orthodox Jewish faith context.

Who can apply

Eligibility is strictly invitation-only for UK-based entities aligned with the funder's Jewish religious objects. The Trust considers UK-registered charities and community groups.

Unsolicited applications are not accepted; trustees identify potential partners through their network.
