register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Shirehall Tzedaka Company Limited
Shirehall Tzedaka Company Limited, established in 1981, is a family-controlled UK charity governed by members of the Jay family. Its mission is to advance Orthodox Judaism by providing grants to aligned religious, educational, and welfare organisations. Rooted in Orthodox Jewish values, the charity focuses on sustaining faith-based communities through support for religious advancement, poverty relief, and Jewish education. It often uses income from property investments to fund its philanthropy. The funder is known for a relational, network-driven approach, channelling support mainly to pre-selected entities within tightly knit Orthodox Jewish circles, reflecting the trustees' direct involvement and long-term commitments.
What Shirehall Tzedaka Company Limited funds
The funder supports synagogues, religious education providers, schools, and welfare institutions that address social and economic hardship among Orthodox Jewish communities. Grants can cover core costs, projects, capital needs, and property-related activities. The focus is on established UK-based charities and organisations that uphold Orthodox traditions, with a particular emphasis on London and surrounding Jewish networks. While the ultimate beneficiaries are people and communities, support is exclusively within this faith context.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities with strong Orthodox Jewish alignment and connections to the trustees. The funder prioritises established organisations within its networked ecosystem, favouring medium-to-large institutions. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; instead, support is directed to pre-selected entities. The funder's approach is highly relational, so organisations without existing trustee connections are unlikely to receive funding.
What Shirehall Tzedaka Company Limited doesn't fund
The funder does not support non-Jewish causes, generalist charities, or organisations outside its networked ecosystem. This reflects its specialised and insular approach, focusing exclusively on Orthodox Jewish communities and their institutions.
How they like to fund
The funder works by invitation and through pre-selected relationships, rather than accepting unsolicited applications. Funding decisions are made ad hoc via internal board meetings, with no public schedule or formal process. Grants can support core costs, projects, capital needs, and property-related activities, reflecting a flexible approach to meeting the needs of recipient organisations.
