CIO 1187823: grants 2023–24 and 2024–25

The CIO made grants of £950,733 in the year to 31 March 2025 (2024: £2,335,195) (PDF p.5).^[23] The note on grants names only gifts of £100,000 or more. In 2023–24 the largest was £1,345,255 to University of Haifa UK; in 2024–25 the named grants were the Community Security Trust £225,000, University College London Hospitals £167,000, Greenhouse Schools Project £140,000 and the Jewish Leadership Council £100,000 (PDF p.26–27).^[23] The University of Haifa UK grant is a multi-year commitment: the CIO paid US$425,000 in each of 2023–24 and 2024–25, and still owed £986,766 (US$1,250,000) at 31 March 2025; Richard Hatter is a trustee of University of Haifa UK. It also paid US$450,000 (2024: US$1,250,000) to World ORT Trust, of which he is also a trustee (PDF p.35).^[23] No grant to a body supporting the Israeli military is named in the 2021–2025 accounts of the CIO.^[23]

Israeli partners

Haifa University; Hebrew University friends; One Family; UK medical charities.^[24]

Support for the Israeli military

Borderline. The 2018 grant list includes £5,000 to One Family, which supports families bereaved by war and terror attacks.^[24] No grant to an IDF welfare body is recorded in the accounts cited on this page. One Family also received £5,000 in 2015–16.^[24]

Prior scrutiny. In February 2024 David Miller, writing for PressTV, named the foundation among charities that had donated to UK Friends of AWIS, and it is listed on the Powerbase page UK AWIS - supporters. The archived accounts of the trust for 2015–16 to 2018–19 name no grant to UK Friends of AWIS; smaller grants are grouped as "Other grants".^[25]

Activity beyond the Green Line

Findings are graded by confidence. "Partner" findings concern the Israeli recipient organisation, not proven use of UK funds.

Evidence of activity beyond the 1949 armistice line
Finding	Confidence
Grants to friends of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, whose Mount Scopus campus is in occupied East Jerusalem; the FY2018 accounts do not say which campus the grants support.^[24]	Low

Controversies and regulatory action

No regulatory action concerning the foundation was found in the register extract or the sources searched. The charities in the Commission's settlements class inquiry (opened August 2026) have not been named, so it is not known whether this foundation is among them.^[26]
Removed from the register; activities appear to continue under CIO 1187823 (same name). No Gazette insolvency notice was found. The FY2019 archived accounts are a scanned copy; the figures above are from the FY2018 archived accounts.

Other registers and records

Scotland and Northern Ireland

No entry was found on the Scottish Charity Register for this charity (full register download of 14 October 2026 searched by name).^[27] No entry was found on the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland register (API name searches returned zero results).^[28]

Searches of The Gazette notice feeds (all notices, insolvency and company) for the charity's name found no insolvency, winding-up or strike-off notice; results were limited to Companies House filing lists.^[29]

No grants received or made by this charity are recorded in 360Giving data.^[30]

Sanctions screening

The names of current and archived trustees and Companies House officers were screened against the UK Sanctions List and the OFSI Consolidated List. No match on full name was found; only coincidental surname matches.^[31]
