register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Raleigh Ltd
Raleigh Ltd is a UK-registered charity established in 2008, dedicated exclusively to advancing the Orthodox Jewish faith and providing religious education in line with its tenets. Governed by a memorandum and articles of association, it supports Orthodox Jewish religious life through targeted grant-making, embodying core values of religious fidelity, prudent stewardship, and community-specific philanthropy. Distinctively niche, it prioritizes Orthodox Jewish institutions over broader charitable causes, with a history of Charity Commission scrutiny that led to enhanced governance, fund recovery, and strict conflict-of-interest policies—all trustees serve unpaid. The charity's funding character is selective and compliance-focused, concentrating on established organisations within its faith and geographic remit.
What Raleigh Ltd funds
Raleigh Ltd funds religious education, faith promotion, and core operational costs for Orthodox Jewish organisations, synagogues, and educational bodies. Support may take the form of project, capital, or restricted grants, all aligned with Orthodox Jewish principles. The charity targets established medium-to-large institutions that advance religious practice and learning. Geographically, funding is restricted to organisations based in London and England, with no emphasis on direct community services or non-religious activities. The funder favours ongoing religious activities over one-off projects, reflecting a commitment to sustained faith-based work within the Orthodox Jewish community.
Who can apply
Eligibility is tightly restricted to UK-registered charities that are Orthodox Jewish organisations, synagogues, or educational bodies advancing the Orthodox Jewish faith. Beneficiaries are the Orthodox Jewish community, with a focus on established medium-to-large institutions. Organisations must be based in London and England. While no income thresholds are specified, preference leans toward bodies with strong governance and capacity. Raleigh Ltd does not accept unsolicited applications; funding is at the discretion of trustees for pre-selected aligned bodies.

Raleigh Ltd excludes non-Orthodox causes, secular initiatives, and any activities outside the Orthodox Jewish faith. It does not fund direct community services or non-religious activities. Organisations based outside London and England are not supported. The charity also does not consider unsolicited applications, so only pre-selected bodies are eligible.
