register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Vaidichka
Vaidichka is a grant-making charitable incorporated organisation established in 2017, governed by three trustees from the Roth family. Its core mission is to promote and advance Orthodox Judaism through support for religious education institutions, synagogues, and targeted relief of poverty, sickness, and distress within Orthodox Jewish communities. Rooted in a faith-driven ethos, it emphasises efficient stewardship, sustaining religious practice, and communal welfare via proactive, values-aligned grant-making.
What Vaidichka funds
The funder prioritises Orthodox Jewish religious education, including schools and teaching institutions, alongside welfare initiatives for poverty relief among individuals and families in this tradition. Grants support project and core costs for established charities delivering faith-based education, community programmes, and hardship aid. Capital funding for religious facilities may be considered, focusing on institutional actors rather than individuals or grassroots efforts. The funder operates across England and Wales.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities based in England or Wales, with a preference for medium-sized Orthodox Jewish organisations. No strict income thresholds apply, but alignment with Orthodox Judaism is essential. The funder supports established charities rather than individuals or grassroots efforts.
What Vaidichka doesn't fund
Vaidichka avoids secular, non-Jewish, or unsolicited proposals, large national bodies, and generalist funding. It does not support individuals, grassroots organisations, or projects outside its Orthodox Jewish faith and community focus.
How they like to fund
Vaidichka operates by invitation only, making grants to established charities for project and core costs, and occasionally capital funding for religious facilities. It does not accept unsolicited applications.
