N.J.D. Charitable Trust (charity number 4015039) is a British charitable trust established by deed on 7 December 1964 to benefit general charitable purposes. Operating from Manchester, it makes annual grants to a wide range of institutions, with consistent and substantial support for organisations operating in or supporting the Zionist settler colony, including hospitals, educational bodies, security trusts, and religious networks.[1]
The trust's funding patterns, particularly recurring donations to institutions in the Zionist entity and related UK-based groups, demonstrate clear Zionist sympathies. Such grants are critiqued as contributing to settler-colonial infrastructure under anti-Zionism, a protected philosophical belief against discrimination (Miller vs University of Bristol, 2024).[2]
History
The trust was created by deed dated 7 December 1964 and registered as charity 4015039. It has operated continuously for over 60 years as a grant-making body focused on Jewish communal and welfare causes.[1]
Activities
The trust provides grants to institutions for religious, educational, health, welfare, and security purposes. It operates in multiple UK areas and the Zionist entity, with annual expenditure on grants typically ranging from £60,000 to £100,000+.[3]
