Rina Charitable Trust, established in 2003, is a values-driven grant-maker governed by a small board of three trustees. Its mission is exclusively advancing the Jewish religion, Jewish religious education, and alleviating poverty within Jewish communities worldwide. The Trust takes a traditional philanthropic approach, channelling unrestricted reserves into sustaining charitable institutions that promote Jewish faith, religious observance, education, and welfare. It emphasises long-term institutional capacity and community resilience, primarily funding aligned organisations rather than providing direct services.
What Rina Charitable Trust funds
The Trust supports causes that advance the Jewish religion, religious education, and poverty relief among Jewish populations. It funds core operations, ongoing sustainability, project-specific initiatives, emergency relief, and occasionally capital projects. Activities are centred on Great Britain but extend to international Jewish communities facing hardship or deprivation. The Trust prioritises established charities combating social deprivation within Jewish communities, particularly those reinforcing religious life and education.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities with Jewish-focused missions and proven track records. The Trust prefers medium to large organisations with established operations. It supports charities that serve Jewish communities, especially those addressing social deprivation while reinforcing religious life and education. The Trust is distinctly faith-oriented and exclusive, so only organisations aligned with Jewish religious and welfare objectives are considered.
What Rina Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund non-Jewish causes, individuals, informal groups, or generalist activities. It avoids supporting activities outside the scope of Jewish religion, education, and poverty relief. Unregistered organisations and those without a clear Jewish focus are not eligible.
How they like to fund
The Trust operates through selective, relationship-based grant-making, limiting funding to existing partners. It supports core operations, project-specific initiatives, emergency relief, and capital projects. The Trust works by invitation, maintaining long-term relationships with selected charities rather than welcoming unsolicited approaches.
