M B Foundation (Also Known as Mossad Horav Moshe Aryeh Halevy)

The foundation supports causes including religious education, welfare, poverty alleviation, and emergency relief. It funds general operations, religious instruction, education, and welfare activities, as well as occasional aid to individuals. Grants are typically core and unrestricted, allowing organisations to use funds where most needed. Geographically, the foundation has a particularly strong focus on Greater Manchester, alongside UK-wide support and occasional international grants. It prioritises established Jewish institutions, providing repeat funding to sustain their work over time.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities whose work is exclusively focused on Jewish causes. The foundation favours medium-to-large institutions with a proven track record, rather than grassroots or newly formed groups. It provides funding to organisations involved in religious instruction, education, welfare, and poverty relief within the Jewish community. The foundation does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are made by invitation only, identified by the trustees.

The foundation rarely backs grassroots organisations or standalone capital, seed, or capacity-building projects. It does not support causes outside the Jewish community. Unsolicited applications are not considered.

The foundation provides core and unrestricted grants for general operations, often offering repeat funding to sustain ongoing work.
