Terrace Limited

Terrace Limited is a London-based charitable company limited by guarantee, established on 11 March 1998 and registered with the Charity Commission (number 1068555). Managed by a small board of trustees including CEO A Reifer, it advances the Orthodox Jewish faith, relieves poverty, and supports other UK-recognised charitable purposes. Its ethos emphasises strengthening Orthodox Jewish community infrastructure through grants to religious education institutions and welfare initiatives, reflecting a cautious, sustain-focused approach with substantial reserves (£638k as of 2022) and annual grantmaking around £100,000. Distinctively trustee-led and low-profile, it prioritises organisations within its networks over open processes.

The funder supports core costs, general purposes, and project activities aligned with Orthodox Jewish religious education, faith-based programmes, and poverty relief. Beneficiaries are predominantly UK Jewish charities and institutions—especially small to medium-sized educational and welfare bodies—fostering religious life and hardship alleviation, with a London-centric but nationally-reaching footprint.

Eligible applicants must be UK-registered charities deeply embedded in the Orthodox Jewish community; there is no income threshold, though patterns favour established communal organisations. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—grants go exclusively to trustee-known entities via invitation. Typical awards range from £5,000 to £30,000, decided ad hoc without deadlines, public rounds, or formal processes. It excludes non-Jewish causes, open-access seekers, and lacks themed calls, differentiating it as a highly relational, discretion-driven supporter of core Orthodox Jewish priorities.
