About Shaarei Rachamim Limited

Shaarei Rachamim Limited is a UK-registered charity established in 1996, based in North West London and governed by a small board of trustees. Its mission is to advance Orthodox Jewish religious life and relieve poverty among the Jewish needy, guided by a commitment to public benefit within strict Orthodox boundaries. The Trust operates through a trustee-led approach, channelling grants to trusted community organisations rather than delivering direct services. With income drawn from voluntary donations linked to trustee networks, it maintains a stable, internally focused funding character.

What Shaarei Rachamim Limited funds

The funder supports Orthodox Jewish institutions delivering formal and informal religious education, including schools and networks, alongside welfare organisations addressing hardship and poverty relief within the Jewish community. Grants fund core costs, capital and revenue projects for educational provision, and general charitable purposes. The Trust focuses on sustaining established medium-to-large entities predominantly in the UK, with a concentration in London, Kent, and Manchester.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities demonstrably rooted in Orthodox Jewish tradition. The Trust prioritises organisations serving the Jewish needy and advancing Orthodox religious life. Grant-making is directed through internal trustee networks rather than an open process, so the Trust typically supports organisations already known to its trustees. There is no public application process.

What Shaarei Rachamim Limited doesn't fund

The Trust excludes non-Jewish causes, activities outside Orthodox Jewish tradition, and organisations that are not part of its community ecosystem. It does not fund individuals or organisations that do not align with strict Orthodox boundaries.

How they like to fund

The Trust works by invitation only, directing grants through trustee networks. It does not accept unsolicited applications. Funding is provided for core costs, capital projects, and revenue projects, with a focus on sustaining established organisations aligned with its mission.
