Premierquote Limited

Premierquote Limited is a grant-making charity established in 1985, with a core mission to advance the Orthodox Jewish faith and relieve poverty, while also supporting other English-law charitable purposes. Rooted in values of faith, community, and compassion, it draws stability from a substantial investment endowment, enabling trustee-led philanthropy overseen by figures like Henry Last and Morris Wiesenfield. Its distinctive, reserved approach emphasizes sustained, relationship-driven giving within an Orthodox Jewish ethos, prioritizing long-term organizational support over short-term projects.

The funder prioritizes Orthodox Jewish religious activities, such as support for synagogues, schools, and congregations, alongside poverty relief for vulnerable groups including children, youth, older people, those with disabilities, and ethnic communities—often within Jewish contexts. Grants also extend to general charitable aims like education, training, and community development, benefiting a spectrum of established charities across England and Wales without geographic sub-restrictions.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities based in the UK; no income thresholds apply, though it favors established organizations over grassroots ones, with a near-exclusive focus on groups rather than individuals. Typical grants range from £5,000 to £100,000, occasionally larger, funding core costs, unrestricted support, projects, or capital at trustees' discretion—annual expenditure exceeds £1 million.

Premierquote does not accept unsolicited applications, lacking public processes, forms, or deadlines; funding operates on a rolling, proactive basis via trustee networks. It avoids individuals, competitive rounds, and misaligned causes, standing out for its faith-centric, asset-backed model and repeat funding to aligned Jewish welfare initiatives.
