Shulem B. Association Limited

The funder supports religious education—including schooling, resources, and youth programmes—alongside welfare initiatives for Jewish children, young people, and families. Grants are directed toward capital projects (such as infrastructure) and revenue needs (such as core costs), targeting established institutions delivering these outcomes within Orthodox communities in England. The focus is on authentic religious education aligned with Orthodox doctrine, as well as poverty relief for Jewish families. All funded activities are confined to England, reflecting the funder's geographic remit.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities operating in England, with a strong preference for medium-to-large, well-established Orthodox Jewish schools and religious bodies. Small grassroots groups are typically overlooked, and there are no fixed income thresholds. The funder prioritises institutions that demonstrate continuity and doctrinal fidelity, serving Jewish children, young people, and families. Funding is invite-only, so unsolicited applications are not accepted; trustees proactively identify and approach pre-selected recipients on a discretionary basis.

The funder excludes non-Jewish causes, unrestricted or emergency aid outside its remit, and activities beyond England. It also does not support activities outside Orthodox education and welfare, and it typically overlooks small grassroots groups. Funding is limited to established institutions within Orthodox communities, so unaligned or non-Orthodox causes are not considered.

Shulem B. Association Limited operates as an invite-only funder, with trustees proactively identifying and approaching pre-selected recipients on a discretionary, ad-hoc basis. Grants fund both capital projects and revenue needs, such as core costs, and are directed toward established institutions. The funder emphasises prudent capital management to sustain long-term impact, and it does not accept unsolicited applications.
