Netzuk Limited

Netzuk Limited is a charitable company established in 1981, governed by two trustees—Mr L Zucker and Mrs M Simons—with a core mission to advance the Orthodox Jewish faith, relieve poverty, and support other purposes recognised as charitable under English law, both in the UK and abroad. Rooted in Orthodox Jewish values, it emphasises sustaining religious practice and welfare through a conservative, risk-averse approach, prioritising faith communities' core needs over strategic expansions or new themes.

It funds activities advancing Orthodox Jewish religious life, such as congregational infrastructure, faith education, and religious welfare, alongside direct poverty relief for individuals and organisations in hardship—primarily within the Orthodox Jewish community, though extendable to others under charity law. Support focuses on operational core costs and emergency interventions rather than time-limited projects, capital works, or capacity building, with grants directed mostly to UK-based efforts, especially in London and surrounding areas.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities or community groups serving the Orthodox Jewish community (jewish_only restriction), with a preference for small to medium-sized, grassroots entities; no strict income thresholds apply, but geographic focus requires UK operations. Netzuk does not accept unsolicited applications—trustees identify recipients via internal networks at annual meetings, with no public deadlines or processes.

Typical grants are modest, mostly under £10,000, for ongoing support. Distinctively, its dual religious-poverty focus differentiates it, excluding trading, trustee benefits, or misaligned activities, ensuring sustained, compliant aid to vulnerable faith-linked beneficiaries.
