M and L Cohen Charitable Trust
About This Funder
The M and L Cohen Charitable Trust, an unincorporated trust established by deed on 30 January 2005 and registered with the Charity Commission (number 1108246), is governed by trustees including Mrs L Cohen, M Cohen, and Gavriel Cohen. Its core mission advances orthodox Jewish education, relieves poverty, and supports other charitable activities at trustees' absolute discretion, guided by orthodox Jewish values to strengthen the Jewish community and aid vulnerable individuals. Operating leanly without staff or trustee payments, it focuses solely on grant-making from investment income, favouring trustee-known causes or established community relationships in a direct, personal approach distinctive to North West Jewish networks.
The trust funds orthodox Jewish education (e.g., yeshivas, Jewish schools like Bury and Whitefield Jewish Primary School), religious institutions (synagogues, community centres), poverty relief, and welfare for Jewish communities, including child/youth development via groups like Lubavitch Manchester, Kahal Chassidim, and Colel Chabad. Supported activities encompass core costs, educational provision, religious infrastructure, and communal initiatives, with grants to grassroots charities, synagogues, and local branches of larger organisations.
Eligibility is restricted to Jewish (orthodox-aligned) beneficiaries in Greater Manchester (Salford, Manchester City, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan); no unsolicited applications are accepted—support requires trustee relationships or recommendations, with no forms, open calls, or income thresholds (though preferring small/medium entities). Grants range £2,000–£25,000 (typically £5,000–£15,000), awarded rolling via trustee discretion without deadlines.
Distinctive for its narrow, unwavering focus excluding non-Jewish, non-local, or unrelated causes, it avoids competitive rounds, seed/emergency/unrestricted funding outside its remit, ensuring all distributions align tightly with community-led orthodox Jewish priorities.
