O&g Schreiber Charitable Trust

The O&G Schreiber Charitable Trust, established in 1999 and re-registered in 2013, is a UK-based charitable funder dedicated to general charitable donations with a strong emphasis on relieving poverty and advancing the Jewish religion and religious education, primarily within England and Wales. Rooted in a commitment to alleviate hardship, promote education and training, enhance health and wellbeing, and strengthen religious life—especially for the Jewish community—its values prioritize flexible, impactful support for both broad charitable needs and targeted Jewish welfare. With a small trustee board, no trustee payments, and a policy of maintaining reserves for future commitments, the Trust embodies a discreet, trustee-led approach to philanthropy.

It funds activities that directly relieve poverty among Jewish individuals and communities, support Jewish religious education and activities, and benefit vulnerable groups including children, young people, the elderly, and those of particular ethnic origins. Grants often go to charities addressing these priorities through core costs, project work, or direct aid, with examples including welfare support and religious programmes, while allowing flexibility for revenue or capital needs.

Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities operating in England and Wales, with no specified income thresholds or size restrictions, though a preference for Jewish-aligned causes is evident. Typical grants range from £1,000 to £25,000 (mostly £1,000–£10,000), awarded on an invitation-only, adhoc basis with no public application process, deadlines, or formal cycles—approaches must await trustee discretion. Distinctively, it avoids trading activities and focuses on unrestricted funds, differentiating it as a niche supporter for Jewish poverty relief and religious advancement amid general charity.
