KKMG

KKMG is a registered charity in England and Wales (Charity Commission no. 1186335) dedicated to advancing the Orthodox Jewish religion, promoting Orthodox Jewish education, and relieving sickness and infirmity for public benefit, primarily through targeted grants. Established to strengthen religious life, educational opportunities aligned with Orthodox values, and welfare support within the Orthodox Jewish community, its mission emphasizes faith-based compassion, community cohesion, and practical aid. Led by unremunerated trustees in a voluntary stewardship model, KKMG embodies a values-driven ethos rooted in Orthodox Judaism, focusing on resilience, tradition preservation, and efficient philanthropy without elaborate strategies.

It funds synagogues, independent Orthodox Jewish schools, educational programmes, and welfare projects addressing illness, bereavement, financial distress, or vulnerability—covering core costs, project support, direct relief, and occasional capital needs. Beneficiaries include small charities, grassroots groups, and individuals directly tied to these faith, education, or welfare purposes, with a concentration on UK Orthodox communities in areas like London and Manchester.

Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities or community groups serving Orthodox Jews; secular or non-Orthodox causes are excluded, with preference for modest-sized entities. KKMG operates invite-only, accepting no unsolicited applications—trustees identify recipients via networks, referrals, or community engagement, deciding at ad hoc meetings throughout the year with no deadlines. Typical grants range from £1,000 to £10,000, favoring small, targeted awards for immediate needs.

Distinctive for its unwavering narrow focus, KKMG avoids generalist funding, prioritizing Orthodox Jewish-specific initiatives and excluding broader charitable work, ensuring high alignment for fitting applicants through trustee-led, needs-based allocation.
