Rishy Charitable Trust

The Rishy Charitable Trust, registered with the UK Charity Commission in August 2009, is a discreet grant-making trust chaired by Anthony Stimler alongside trustees Joy Rina Stimler and Israel David Scharfer. Its core mission is to maximize annual distributions—all income is allocated to charitable causes with minimal reserves—supporting poverty prevention and relief, overseas aid and famine response, health advancement and life-saving efforts, and charitable religious activities. Guided by ethical stewardship, transparent governance, financial controls, and safeguarding policies, the Trust empowers established charities and voluntary bodies to deliver social impact, favoring flexible funding over branded programs or direct operations.

It funds general charitable purposes across these themes, including project work, core costs, emergency relief, capital needs, and operational support for medical/wellbeing organizations, hardship alleviation, international development, disaster response, and faith-based groups with charitable aims. Beneficiaries are nearly always registered organizations rather than individuals, spanning small to mid-sized entities in England and select overseas causes.

Eligible applicants are limited to UK-registered charities and voluntary bodies (primarily England-based) with no income thresholds, geographic base requirements, or special criteria beyond alignment with objects; unsolicited applications are not accepted. Grants, awarded proactively at trustees' discretion during annual meetings, typically range from £2,000 to £30,000 (often £5,000–£15,000), totaling £250,000–£350,000 across 10–20 recipients yearly, with no fixed deadlines or public process.

Distinctively, the Trust avoids individuals, non-charitable activities, and prescriptive programs, standing out as a responsive, generalist enabler that prioritizes sector-wide impact through trustee-identified needs rather than open calls, ensuring reliable support for health, poverty, humanitarian, and charitable religious efforts under UK law.
