Sasta Foundation

The Foundation funds initiatives in religious education, worship, and community activities that serve the Orthodox Jewish population. It supports a range of organisations, from grassroots groups to larger institutions, all within this ethnic-faith community. Its work is concentrated in England and Wales, with a clear commitment to strengthening Orthodox Jewish life. The Foundation provides both project and core costs, enabling organisations to sustain their religious objectives.

Eligibility is restricted to UK organisations demonstrably advancing Orthodox Jewish faith goals in England and Wales. The Foundation targets community groups and other entities within the Orthodox Jewish population, from grassroots to larger institutions. No specified income thresholds or entity types beyond this religious criterion exist. Applications are strictly invite-only, sourced via trustee networks; no unsolicited proposals are accepted.

The Foundation does not support individuals, secular projects, general welfare, or multi-faith efforts. It also avoids capital, emergency, or unrestricted grants, as well as case studies and impact reports. This reinforces its niche as a targeted propagator of Orthodox Judaism, excluding all else.

The Foundation funds both project and core costs, offering one-off grants. It works by invitation only, sourcing applications via trustee networks, and does not accept unsolicited approaches. Grant sizes, while undisclosed publicly, range from several thousand to tens of thousands of pounds based on recent substantial disbursements.
