Clydpride Limited

Clydpride Limited is a UK charitable grant-making company limited by guarantee, incorporated in 1982 and registered as a charity in 1986, dedicated to advancing the Orthodox Jewish faith, relieving poverty, and supporting general charitable purposes under English law. Shaped by values of public benefit, stewardship, and long-term impact, it maximises sustainable philanthropy through strategic asset management, income growth, and distinctive programme-related investments, including property acquisitions to directly advance its objectives. With substantial reserves, it maintains consistent grant-making even amid economic challenges like COVID-19, prioritising enduring support for Jewish religious institutions, faith-based education, community centres, poverty relief for needy individuals, and overseas aid linked to famine relief.

It funds educational, religious, and poverty-alleviation initiatives primarily benefiting the Orthodox Jewish community, persons of Jewish ethnic or racial origin, and aligned charities or voluntary bodies across the UK, with a focus on England and Wales but extending nationwide. Grants support projects, core costs, and investments for religious activities, community education, and direct aid to individuals in need.

Eligible applicants are limited to UK-registered charities and community groups based in the UK, with a strict Orthodox Jewish focus; unsolicited applications are not accepted, and funding is discretionary via trustee review without published processes, forms, deadlines, or meeting schedules. No income thresholds apply, accommodating small and large entities. Typical grant sizes vary by need (e.g., £357,000 total in 2023, including £177,000 for education and £147,000 for poverty relief). Exclusions encompass anything outside its Jewish religious and poverty-relief objects; it uniquely blends proactive property philanthropy, financial prudence, and mission continuity, distinguishing it among UK Jewish funders.
