register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout M and S Storfer Charitable Trust
The M and S Storfer Charitable Trust was established in 1981 by Michael and Susan Monica Storfer. Rooted in Orthodox Jewish traditions, its mission emphasises community continuity through religious learning, faith-based activities, and targeted welfare support. Guided by long-term trustee stewardship and a needs-based, mission-driven philosophy, the Trust focuses on advancing Orthodox Jewish education, upholding the faith, and relieving poverty. It operates as a niche, trustee-led funder rather than a broad strategic grant-maker, supporting established entities within its specific charitable objects.
What M and S Storfer Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds Orthodox Jewish schools, religious institutions, community welfare organisations, and individuals in hardship. It supports educational provision, religious services, core costs, project work, and direct poverty relief. While primarily focused on the Orthodox Jewish community, it extends to compatible charitable needs. Grant-making has a historical emphasis on London-based initiatives but operates across England and Wales, prioritising established entities delivering measurable benefits in faith, education, and welfare.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are limited to UK-registered charities. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; trustees proactively select recipients via internal networks and discretion, favouring reputable organisations and individuals without income thresholds. The Trust prioritises established entities within the Orthodox Jewish community that deliver measurable benefits in faith, education, and welfare.
What M and S Storfer Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust avoids generalist or cross-sector funding, open calls, and capital projects that fall outside its charitable objects. It is distinctively niche-focused and does not support initiatives that are not aligned with Orthodox Jewish priorities in education and welfare.
