Regalcrest Trust Ltd

Regalcrest Trust Ltd, a registered UK charity and company limited by guarantee established in 1996 in London, advances education and the practice of Orthodox Judaism while relieving poverty, primarily within Jewish communities. Overseen exclusively by Gluck family trustees, it embodies orthodox Jewish values of religious observance, faith-based education, and targeted welfare support. Its distinctive family-led governance ensures continuity, discretion, and relational funding to trusted networks, eschewing open strategies or innovation for steadfast commitment to communal traditions.

The trust funds religious education initiatives like yeshivas, Jewish schools, and synagogue activities, alongside direct poverty relief for orphans, bereaved families (e.g., Keren Yesoimim Fund), and those in financial distress. Grants support established Orthodox Jewish organisations and projects fostering religious life and welfare, with a strong London focus but occasional UK or overseas awards aligned to these aims.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, preferably medium-to-large established entities with proven Orthodox Jewish ties; small grassroots groups are unlikely fits. There are no income thresholds, but geographic emphasis is London's Orthodox community. Funding is strictly invitation-only—no unsolicited applications, guidelines, or deadlines—with ad hoc trustee decisions.

Typical grants range from £5,000 to £40,000, drawn from annual expenditures of £120,000–£260,000, mainly for projects or select core costs, not capital builds, seed funding, or broad capacity-building. This traditional, ethos-driven model sets it apart, prioritising demonstrable religious impact over general charity.
