Rayonhills

Rayonhills is a UK-registered charitable company established in January 2018, governed by trustees Mr Leon Tauber and Mrs Rachel Tauber, who volunteer their time and have personally funded deficits to sustain operations. Its core mission advances the Orthodox Jewish religion, supports Orthodox Jewish and broader education, and relieves poverty, sickness, and infirmity for public benefit, as codified in its objects and consistently upheld in annual reports and Charity Commission filings. Distinctively, it operates as a philanthropic conduit, channeling all support exclusively through other registered UK charities rather than direct services, emphasizing strong governance, risk management, safeguarding, and alignment with Orthodox Jewish values.

The funder prioritizes Orthodox Jewish community needs in faith promotion, education initiatives, and welfare, with flexibility for general poverty relief and health interventions that demonstrate public benefit. Grants support diverse activities, including projects, core operating costs, and charitable welfare efforts, selected for mission compatibility without restrictions on project size or organizational turnover.

Eligible applicants are solely UK-registered charities operating nationwide, with no income thresholds or regional limits, though activities must align with Rayonhills' religious, educational, and welfare aims—primarily benefiting Orthodox Jewish communities. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; trustees discretionarily select and approach beneficiaries via adhoc internal meetings, with no public deadlines, forms, or open rounds.

Recent grants totaled over £93,000 annually, likely ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands per recipient, though specifics are unpublished. Rayonhills excludes individuals, non-UK entities, capital-only appeals, and non-aligned causes, differentiating itself through its unwavering Jewish ethos, voluntary leadership, and discreet, trustee-led grantmaking focused on UK Jewish sector partnerships.
