Yitav Limited

Yitav Limited is a UK-registered charitable company (charity number 1182784, company number 11750145), established on 4 January 2019 and governed by a deed of trust under the leadership of the Lobenstein family trustees—Yitzchok (chair), Abraham, and Jacob. Based at Jaylow House in East London, its singular mission is the advancement of religion in accordance with the orthodox Jewish faith for public benefit, emphasizing institutional support for religious practice, education, and community life within orthodox Judaism. With a family-driven, trustee-only structure, no staff, and a commitment to disbursing most income as grants while holding minimal reserves, it embodies a focused, responsive, and risk-aware approach governed by robust internal policies on finance, conflicts, and investments.

It funds charitable organizations and institutions aligned exclusively with orthodox Jewish religious objectives, supporting core costs, programme delivery, and institutional needs to sustain faith-based activities, with no support for individuals, capital projects, seed funding, or emergencies unless tied to its mission. While no explicit geographic limits apply, grantmaking centers on England, particularly East London’s orthodox Jewish communities, targeting small to medium-sized charities without strict income thresholds.

Yitav accepts only invited applications, with no public process, forms, deadlines, or open calls—decisions are discretionary via trustee cycles. Typical grants range up to £30,000 (e.g., £92,807 total in the latest year), prioritizing established orthodox Jewish entities. It excludes all non-orthodox Jewish causes, secular activities, or non-UK charities, distinguishing itself through its narrow religious focus, immediate fund distribution, and unwavering family stewardship, making it ideal for aligned faith-based applicants but irrelevant beyond orthodox Judaism.
