The Tajtelbaum Charitable Trust, established in 1977, is a UK-based grant-making charity dedicated to advancing Orthodox Jewish religion while relieving poverty and sickness among Jewish communities. Governed by four trustees, it embodies a conservative ethos of stewardship, prioritising the strengthening of Orthodox Jewish education, faith, and communal life through sustained support for synagogues, schools, study halls, and welfare organisations. The Trust's founding vision emphasises religious observance and social welfare, with a distinctive singular focus on Orthodox Jewish practice and cultural continuity.
What Tajtelbaum Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds religious education programmes, community-building initiatives, and direct relief for poverty or health hardships, targeting Orthodox Jewish individuals and communities, particularly the vulnerable. Grants support core operating costs, projects, and capital works for established institutions, with repeated backing for synagogues and welfare bodies in key UK centres. Supported activities include religious education, community-building, and welfare relief, primarily across London, Gateshead, Manchester, Salford, Leeds, and occasionally Scotland.
Who can apply
Eligibility is restricted to UK-based organisations serving Orthodox Jewish communities, with a strong preference for medium-to-large established charities. The Trust prioritises organisations in London, Gateshead, Manchester, Salford, Leeds, and occasionally Scotland. Alignment with Orthodox Jewish values is essential, and the Trust does not accept unsolicited applications, operating via trustee discretion with grants awarded to pre-selected entities only.
What Tajtelbaum Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust excludes individuals, non-Orthodox causes, or activities not aligned with Orthodox Jewish practice. It does not fund organisations outside the UK or those serving communities other than Orthodox Jewish ones.
