Mishkan Yerushulayim is a UK-registered charity and private company limited by guarantee, dedicated exclusively to supporting Orthodox Jewish religious organisations. Its mission, rooted in the Shulchon Oruch, focuses on relieving poverty among poor, aged, and infirm Orthodox Jews; advancing traditional Orthodox education; and strengthening religious practice. Guided by values of piety, charity, and communal responsibility, it adopts a traditional grant-making approach, prioritising long-established institutions over innovation or trends. The funder seeks to ensure community continuity, welfare, and dignity through enduring support for essential religious, educational, and welfare frameworks.
What Mishkan Yerushulayim funds
The funder supports three key themes: direct relief for Orthodox Jews in hardship, especially the vulnerable elderly and poor; promotion of Orthodox scholarship and religious education; and bolstering traditional institutions such as schools and welfare organisations. Grants cover revenue costs, programmatic activities, core operations, and capital projects like infrastructure, always aligned with Orthodox doctrines. The funder serves UK-based communities, primarily in London and nationwide, focusing on long-established institutions rather than short-term or experimental projects.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities operating in the UK, with a preference for medium-to-large, established Orthodox Jewish entities upholding traditional standards. The funder prioritises organisations that serve poor, aged, and infirm Orthodox Jews, and those advancing Orthodox education and religious practice. No unsolicited applications are accepted; grants are awarded at trustees' discretion to pre-selected recipients.
What Mishkan Yerushulayim doesn't fund
The funder exclusively supports Orthodox Jewish causes and does not fund non-Jewish, secular, Reform or Progressive Jewish organisations, international charities, individual applicants, or grassroots initiatives. It also excludes projects that do not align with traditional Orthodox doctrines or that are experimental or short-term in nature.
How they like to fund
Mishkan Yerushulayim works by invitation only, awarding grants at its discretion to pre-selected Orthodox Jewish organisations. It supports both core costs and project costs, including capital expenditure, and prioritises long-established institutions. The funder does not accept unsolicited applications.
