The Ya & Ja Foundation is a UK-registered charitable company established in 2005. Its mission advances general charitable purposes with a strong emphasis on education and training, the prevention or relief of poverty, and religious activities. The Foundation supports vulnerable groups through access to learning opportunities, poverty alleviation, and community religious engagement. It takes a broad, generalist philanthropic approach, funding project-based and programme delivery initiatives across the UK. The Foundation operates with a non-publicised process, with funding decisions made privately at trustee discretion, often via direct invitation.
What Ya & Ja Foundation funds
The Foundation focuses its grant-making on three enduring priorities: education and training, the prevention or relief of poverty, and religious activities. Within these areas, it supports project-based and programme delivery work that creates access to learning, reduces hardship, and enables community religious engagement. The Foundation's funding is directed at people and communities in need across the UK, reflecting its exclusively domestic focus. It takes a generalist approach, meaning it is open to a variety of charitable activities that align with its objects, but it does not fund capital projects, core costs, unrestricted funding, emergency aid, or capacity building.
Who can apply
The Foundation only accepts applications from UK-registered charities. There are no specified income thresholds, size preferences, or religious restrictions, though support is directed toward organisations whose work clearly aligns with the Foundation's objects of education, poverty relief, and religious activities. The Foundation prioritises vulnerable groups and communities in need across the UK. It does not accept unsolicited applications; funding decisions are made privately at trustee discretion, often through direct invitation.
What Ya & Ja Foundation doesn't fund
