Mintz Family Foundations Trust

The Mintz Family Foundations Trust, established by trust deed on 19 April 1972 and governed by Mintz family trustees such as Phillipa, Samuel, and Joshua Mintz, is a discreet, family-led philanthropic entity dedicated to advancing the welfare, education, and community life of Jewish people in England and Wales. Rooted in values of continuity, service, and public benefit, it exercises trustee discretion to fund initiatives enhancing Jewish communal resilience, addressing immediate needs in medical, welfare, and educational spheres, while fostering long-term impact through repeat support to aligned charities like those connected to Jewish education and health services.

It prioritizes established UK-registered charities delivering Jewish-focused welfare, community programs, health initiatives, and educational efforts that promote wellbeing and continuity, with grants covering project and core costs for activities directly benefiting Jewish communities across England and Wales. Preference leans toward small to medium-sized organizations with strong governance and proven track records, without strict income thresholds.

Unsolicited applications are not accepted; funding is invite-only, based on trustee-identified partners and long-term relationships, with decisions made ad hoc at irregular trustee meetings (no fixed deadlines or public schedules). Typical grants range from £5,000 to £50,000, drawn from annual expenditures of £200,000–£400,000. Distinctive for its low-profile, selective approach eschewing open calls, competitive rounds, or non-Jewish causes, it maintains conservative stewardship, strict independence, and unwavering focus on Jewish priorities, differentiating it from broader funders through personalized, mission-aligned philanthropy.
