Siva Charitable Fund
About This Funder
The Siva Charitable Fund, a UK grant-making charity established in 1974, advances education, relieves poverty, and promotes religious activities, with a strong emphasis on Jewish faith, Torah study, and community welfare. Guided by trustee discretion and values of inclusivity, social responsibility, and stewardship, it balances current needs with long-term asset management, distributing over £250,000 annually through investments. Its distinctive faith-led yet flexible philanthropy prioritizes Jewish educational, religious, and anti-poverty initiatives while supporting broader charitable purposes.
It funds charitable projects for children, young people, the elderly, disabled individuals, ethnic communities (especially Jewish), and other charities, covering project costs, general activities, and potentially core operations. Recurring grants go to organizations advancing Jewish traditions, education, and welfare, with a focus on UK-based efforts in England and Wales, though trustees may approve elsewhere.
Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities, community groups, and academic institutions, with no strict income limits but a preference for medium-to-large organizations aligned with its mission; unsolicited applications from smaller aligned groups are welcome. Typical grants range from £5,000 to £25,000. Submit a letter or apply in person to trustees anytime—no deadlines, forms, or portals—with decisions at ad hoc meetings and no fixed response timelines.
Unlike rigid funders, Siva avoids individuals, capital projects, emergencies, or seed funding as norms, emphasizing trustee responsiveness to evolving Jewish and poverty-related needs without religious restrictions on applicants.
