Nagrys Ltd

Nagrys Ltd, a UK-registered charity (number 803104, established 1981 as a private company limited by guarantee), is dedicated to advancing the orthodox Jewish faith and relieving poverty among the orthodox Jewish community in England and Wales. Governed by its trustees, it operates as a specialist grant-making trust without direct service delivery, channeling community donations into targeted support for religious activities and welfare needs. Its ethos emphasizes the continuity of orthodox Jewish religious life and alleviation of hardship for this specific ethnic-faith group, as consistently reflected in annual reports and Charity Commission filings.

The funder supports orthodox Jewish institutions and projects focused on poverty relief—such as hardship aid and core operational costs—and religious advancement, including faith-based activities. Grants may cover project funding, core costs, or even capital needs if tightly aligned, but exclusively benefit orthodox Jewish communities through established charities rather than individuals. Recent grantmaking totaled £61,375 in 2023, illustrating a reactive, needs-based approach without broad thematic diversity.

Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities based in and serving England and Wales' orthodox Jewish communities, with a preference for small to medium-sized organizations; no formal income thresholds apply, but alignments must match the dual mission. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—trustees proactively identify and select recipients on an ad hoc basis, with no deadlines, forms, or open calls.

Nagrys Ltd stands out for its narrow, unwavering focus on one community, eschewing generalist funding, individuals, non-orthodox Jewish causes, or activities beyond England and Wales. This invite-only model ensures precise, mission-driven impact for aligned orthodox Jewish charities.
