Amabrill Ltd

Amabrill Ltd is a private charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in 1999 and established as a grant-maker in 2000, dedicated to advancing Orthodox Jewish education, religious practice, and poverty relief among Jewish communities in England, with a strong emphasis on London's Orthodox Jewish population. Governed by four actively involved trustees, it manages £30 million in assets, disbursing over £4.4 million annually from investment income rather than public appeals. Its insular, relational ethos prioritizes Orthodox values, sustainability through reserves, and trustee-led decisions to support deeply aligned causes like schools, yeshivot, synagogues, and welfare initiatives for the Orthodox community, funding both organizations and individuals.

It primarily supports Orthodox Jewish educational institutions, religious organizations, and communal bodies addressing poverty, offering grants for core costs, unrestricted funding, projects in religious education and welfare, and occasional capital needs. Beneficiaries must demonstrate clear alignment with Orthodox teachings, community impact, and established ties, focusing on medium to large, high-impact entities rather than startups.

Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities based in England, particularly those serving Orthodox Jewish communities; unsolicited applications are not accepted, requiring introductions or pre-existing trustee connections via private trustee discretion on a rolling basis—no deadlines, portals, or guidelines exist. Typical grants range from £50,000 to £500,000, favoring six-figure awards to core partners.

Amabrill stands out for its exclusively Orthodox Jewish focus, rejecting non-aligned causes, generalist activities, or open-access models; it avoids small grants under £10,000, public rounds, and grassroots efforts, differentiating it as a high-value, connection-driven funder for established Orthodox entities only.
