Nesswall Limited

Nesswall Limited is a registered UK charity and company limited by guarantee, established in 1981 with its principal office in London. Governed by a board of three trustees, it advances religious objectives aligned with the Orthodox Jewish faith, relieves poverty, and supports other charitable purposes under English law. Its core mission centers on philanthropic grant-making to religious, educational, and general charitable organizations, primarily benefiting the Orthodox Jewish community while extending to wider public benefit causes. With an ethos of faith-led philanthropy, high resource allocation to beneficiaries (e.g., £103,096 in grants for the year ending March 2024 from £235,838 income), and stable governance emphasizing robust financial, safeguarding, and investment policies, Nesswall prioritizes direct support over operational costs or direct service delivery.

It funds religious and educational activities, poverty relief, and general charitable programs, offering project funding, core costs, and unrestricted grants to charities and voluntary bodies serving people of particular ethnic or racial origins, especially Orthodox Jewish communities. While focused on England and Wales, it occasionally supports aligned overseas projects.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities, with no income thresholds, size preferences, or geographic base restrictions—though alignment with Orthodox Jewish or broader charitable objectives is key. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; funding operates by invitation only through trustee networks, with no public deadlines, application forms, or published decision timelines.

Nesswall stands out for its unwavering Orthodox Jewish focus, exclusive grant-making model without remuneration to trustees, and avoidance of direct services, capital projects, or individual aid. Charities demonstrating strong thematic alignment, particularly in faith-based education and community support, are best positioned for invitation.
