  • Israel applications are invited from sectors "which support improved relations between Jews and Arabs, support of refugees and asylum seekers and improved mental health"; staff visits to Israel were suspended.[20] UK grants included Nudge Community Builders £250,000, Darwin College £200,000 and Groundwork NI £100,895.[20]

Israeli partners

Jewish–Arab shared-society organisations (Sikkuy-Aufoq, Givat Haviva, Abraham Initiatives, Hand in Hand, New Israel Fund), Bedouin projects in the Negev, and mental-health bodies (Natal, KANAF).[20]

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
No recipient or project is placed in the occupied territories in the accounts; the places named (the Negev, Bedouin communities) lie inside the 1949 line.[20] Low

Support for the IDF: No IDF or military funding is stated. The trust gave £20,000 to Brothers and Sisters in Arms – for Democracy for work on "liberal democratic values in the Knesset committees".[20]

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;[21] 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.[22][23][24][25] 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.[26]
  • Investments in funds linked to the Chairman. The trust holds £236,257 in George Capital Real Estate Fund LLP and £342,282 in George Capital Real Estate Fund 2 LLP, in which the Chairman, the Hon Robert A Rayne, has interests of 11.25% and 7.19% through SQP Ltd. It also holds 2.40% of LMS Capital plc and 0.54% of Derwent London plc. The Rayne Foundation recharged £169,286 in costs.[20] A 2003 capture of the Rayne Foundation's website stated that its administration was "provided as a donation in kind through London Merchant Securities plc".[27]
  • Grant to a body linked to a trustee. Chickenshed received £25,000; Lady Jane Rayne is its Honorary President Emeritus.[20]
