Mosdos Satmar LIMITED

Mosdos Satmar LIMITED is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in July 2011 and registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (number 1147131). Rooted in the Satmar Hasidic tradition, its core mission advances Orthodox Judaism through religious education, charitable giving, and community facilities, primarily serving the Orthodox Jewish community in London and Kent. It emphasizes preserving faith, identity, and values via tzedakah (traditional charity), supporting religious observance, cultural activities, and poverty relief while benefiting the wider public where aligned.

The funder supports grants to individuals and organizations for Orthodox Jewish religious education (e.g., yeshivas), synagogue and community facility maintenance, religious events, core costs, and direct poverty alleviation. Priorities include sustaining community cohesion, training educators, and providing social welfare, with expenditures on staff salaries, events, and grassroots institutions reflecting a service-delivery and grant-making model funded by donations and legacies.

Eligibility is restricted to Orthodox Jewish beneficiaries in London and Kent; it prefers small to medium local institutions like synagogues and schools, with no specified income thresholds or entity types but a clear religious focus. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—funding follows a discretionary, relationship-based process led by trustees via ad hoc meetings, without public deadlines, guidelines, or open calls.

Distinctively, Mosdos Satmar avoids formal programs or external applicants, prioritizing pre-identified needs within its tight-knit community over broad outreach. Annual grants total £200,000–£900,000 across recipients, with no disclosed individual ranges, differentiating it as a mission-driven, faith-embedded funder tied to Hasidic norms rather than competitive philanthropy.
