Samjo Limited is a private charitable foundation established in 2002, registered as a company limited by guarantee with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Its mission centres on advancing Jewish religion and education while relieving poverty, hardship, or disability, with an unwavering focus on enriching Jewish life in Greater Manchester. Operating as an investment-led endowment, it emphasises stewardship, discretion, and long-term community impact through trusted relationships rather than open competition. The foundation supports a range of causes strictly within Jewish heritage and faith contexts, prioritising established organisations that sustain communal infrastructure over grassroots groups without connections.
What Samjo Limited funds
The Trust funds Jewish educational institutions, synagogues, religious bodies, medical and sickness charities, elderly care, disability support, and welfare initiatives. It supports core costs, projects, capital improvements, and direct individual relief for those in poverty or with disabilities—all strictly within Jewish heritage and faith contexts. Beneficiaries include Manchester-based groups, prioritising established organisations sustaining communal infrastructure across the Greater Manchester area, including Bolton, Bury, Manchester City, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, and Wigan.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities or individuals deeply connected to the Jewish community in Greater Manchester. The foundation prioritises established organisations that sustain communal infrastructure over grassroots groups without connections. Trustee referrals are essential for any approach, as the foundation operates strictly through trustee networks. There are no income thresholds for applicants, but the emphasis is on trust and long-standing relationships within the Jewish community.
What Samjo Limited doesn't fund
The foundation excludes non-Jewish causes, grassroots groups without established connections to the Jewish community in Greater Manchester, and seed or innovation funding. It does not support open applications or unsolicited approaches, working only through trustee networks.
