The Siva Charitable Fund is a UK grant-making charity established in 1974. It advances education, relieves poverty, and promotes religious activities, with a strong emphasis on Jewish faith, Torah study, and community welfare. Guided by values of inclusivity, social responsibility, and stewardship, the Fund balances current needs with long-term asset management, distributing its income through investments to support charitable work. The Fund supports charitable projects for children, young people, the elderly, disabled individuals, and ethnic communities, especially those within the Jewish community. It funds organisations working in education, poverty relief, and religious activities, covering project costs and general activities. While its focus is on UK-based efforts in England and Wales, trustees may consider applications from elsewhere. Distinctively, the Siva Charitable Fund is a faith-led yet flexible philanthropist, prioritising Jewish educational, religious, and anti-poverty initiatives while also supporting broader charitable purposes. It does not typically fund individuals, capital projects, emergencies, or seed funding, and prefers to work with medium-to-large charities aligned with its mission. The Fund welcomes unsolicited applications.
