LPW Limited

LPW Limited, registered charity number 1148784, is a private company limited by guarantee established in 2012, governed by a board of five trustees with prominent involvement from the Rosenthal family, reflecting its familial stewardship. Its enduring mission centers on advancing Orthodox Jewish religion and education while alleviating poverty, delivered through direct grants to individuals and organizations across England and Wales. With income primarily from donations and investments yielding substantial surpluses, LPW emphasizes sustainable endowment growth to support long-term community needs, embodying conservative values of discretion, continuity, and deep-rooted commitment to Orthodox Jewish life.

The funder prioritizes projects and institutions enhancing Orthodox Jewish religious infrastructure, education aligned with Orthodox practices, and welfare initiatives addressing hardship within this community, including project funding, core costs, and financial assistance for people and groups. It supports a spectrum of beneficiaries, from small educational bodies to larger religious and welfare organizations, focusing exclusively on these tightly defined Orthodox Jewish themes without venturing into secular or unrelated causes.

Eligibility is restricted to UK-based entities (England and Wales) serving the Orthodox Jewish community; unsolicited applications are not accepted—funding operates invite-only via trustee relationships and knowledge of needs. No income thresholds, public deadlines, or open rounds exist; decisions occur at adhoc trustee meetings with grants varying significantly based on discretion, supported by recent annual expenditures exceeding £1.4 million. LPW stands out for its unwavering Orthodox Jewish exclusivity, family-led opacity, and relationship-driven approach, differentiating it from broader funders and making it ideal only for aligned religious, educational, or poverty-relief efforts within this niche.
