Funding in Israel

  • FY2025 named grants: Mosdos Hatorah Pnei Menachem Ltd £200,000; Torah and Charity Fund £108,695; Amud Hatzdokoh Trust £106,060; Mifal Zedoko Vayoel Moshe £104,000; Mifal Tzedoko Vochesed £67,000; Chasdei Aharon Ltd £61,000; Zoreya Tzedokos Ltd £45,000; The Kolel Ltd £41,000; Bayis Lepletos £37,200; The ABC Trust £36,000; Minchas Yeshivah £35,000; others under £35,000 £674,964. Israel is a register area, but the named recipients appear to be UK bodies.[2][1]

Israeli partners

No Israeli organisation is named. Mosdos Hatorah Pnei Menachem Ltd and The ABC Trust (batch 2) are UK charities that fund Israeli institutions.[2]

Activity beyond the Green Line and support for the IDF

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
Not established from the named grant list.[2] Low

Support for the IDF: No IDF funding is stated. Grants are categorised as education, religion, relief of poverty, medical and social welfare.[2]

Controversies and regulatory action

  • No Charity Commission inquiry, Official Warning or Gazette insolvency notice naming this charity was found, and its register entry shows no regulatory alert;[11] it is not among the charities named in the Commission's cheque-cashing class-inquiry announcements (May, September and December 2025) or in the September 2026 statement of results.[12][13][14][15] The charities in the Commission's settlements class inquiry (opened August 2026) have not been named, so it is not known whether this charity is among them.[16]
  • Connected-company lending. The accounts state the charity "is reliant on donations from companies connected to the trustees and also loan interest from" such companies. Most of its assets are amounts owed by companies in which the trustees have a connection.[2]
  • Minor inconsistency. Note 6 gives grantmaking of £1,515,599, but its analysis of grants by purpose totals £1,515,919.[2]
