Moishe and Esther Itzinger Foundation Limited

The Moishe and Esther Itzinger Foundation Limited, established on 9 March 2009 as a grant-making charity governed by five trustees including Chair Samuel Maurice Itzinger, advances the orthodox Jewish faith, religious education, and relief of poverty, sickness, and infirmity among UK Jewish communities. With assets exceeding £2.8 million from property investments ensuring stable funding, its mission strengthens orthodox Jewish infrastructure, education, and welfare through discreet, relationship-driven grantmaking rooted in trustees' community ties, while remaining open to unsolicited applications aligned with its ethos of high-impact support for faith observance and hardship alleviation.

It prioritises orthodox Jewish education (schools, seminaries), religious life (synagogues, community centres), and welfare (family hardship, medical needs), offering project funding, core support, capital/revenue aid, and direct individual relief. Beneficiaries include UK orthodox Jewish institutions, grassroots groups, and individuals facing need, with grants sustaining communal networks across the UK without geographic limits.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, community groups, or endorsed individuals (requiring a rabbi's recommendation); small to medium-sized organisations are favoured, with no strict income thresholds but a jewish-only focus. Applications via written letter to the registered office are reviewed rolling basis, with decisions in up to three months post-trustee meetings; typical grants range £5,000–£17,500.

Exclusions cover unendorsed individual requests and non-orthodox or non-charitable causes; its distinctive close-knit governance, orthodox alignment, and accessible yet selective approach set it apart for charities advancing Jewish education, faith, and welfare.
