Belljoe Tzedoko Limited

Belljoe Tzedoko Limited is a London-based charitable company established in 1981, dedicated to advancing the Orthodox Jewish faith and relieving poverty, primarily among people of Orthodox Jewish ethnic or racial origin. Its core mission centers on supporting religious commitment and tangible welfare within the Orthodox Jewish community, guided by trustee-led stewardship that emphasizes public benefit, long-term continuity, and direct knowledge of beneficiaries. Funded mainly by investment income from a property portfolio, it operates with a quiet, consistent ethos of underpinning communal infrastructure through discretionary grant-making rather than open calls.

The funder prioritizes Orthodox Jewish educational institutions, welfare organizations, and religious causes, including poverty relief, scholarships, religious schooling, and general community welfare programs. Recent grants have supported entities like Achisomoch Aid Company Ltd, A TIME Limited, British Friends of Kupat Ha'ir, Marbeh Torah Trust, and Torah Vodaas Primary School, funding core costs, projects, and operational needs for small to medium-sized institutions in these networks.

Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities operating in England and Wales, with a focus on London and Manchester's Orthodox Jewish populations; no unsolicited applications are accepted—grants go only to pre-selected, aligned institutions, not individuals. Typical awards range from under £10,000 to £40,000, occasionally higher, awarded on a rolling basis via trustee discretion without deadlines or formal processes.

Distinctively, Belljoe Tzedoko eschews competitive applications, capital projects, or funding outside its religious and geographic remit, differentiating itself as a reliable, insider supporter of established Orthodox Jewish communal life, ideal for core-sustaining aid in faith-aligned education and welfare.
