wohl.org.ukAbout Maurice Wohl Charitable Foundation
The Maurice Wohl Charitable Foundation, established in 1965 by property developer Maurice Wohl and his wife Vivienne, is rooted in values of generosity, community and strategic impact, influenced by Maurice Wohl's rabbinical heritage. It operates a proactive, trustee-led model that prioritises long-term stewardship of its endowment, seeking high-impact partnerships rather than reactive grantmaking. The Foundation supports initiatives that strengthen Jewish communal life in the UK and Europe, with a particular focus on London and Manchester, as well as Israel. It funds medical research and infrastructure, welfare for elderly, disabled and vulnerable people, and high-quality education for Jewish populations with broader reach. The Foundation favours capital projects such as hospital facilities and school developments, alongside organisational sustainability and capacity building.
