Foundation for Jewish Heritage
The Foundation for Jewish Heritage is a UK-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Jewish heritage sites across the globe. Registered as a charity with number 1162111, its mission is to ensure the conservation, protection, and improvement of Jewish architectural sites, monuments, cemeteries, and other culturally significant places[2].
Mission and Activities
The Foundation works internationally to identify and protect at-risk Jewish heritage sites. Its approach includes research to create an inventory of these sites, advocacy to raise awareness and interest, providing expertise to develop sustainable preservation solutions in collaboration with local partners, and securing resources to fund restoration and preservation efforts[1][5].
Key Projects and Focus
One of the Foundation's notable achievements is the development of a comprehensive map detailing the locations and conditions of over 3,300 historic synagogues across Europe. This project serves as a crucial guide for focused preservation initiatives[5]. While the majority of its work is centered in Europe, the Foundation also engages in projects in countries such as Syria and Iraq, which historically had significant Jewish populations[5].
Education and Awareness
The Foundation aims to advance public education on Jewish heritage, promoting understanding, respect, and dialogue about Jewish history and culture. It views these sites not only as integral parts of Jewish identity but also as powerful tools for educating the broader public about Judaism and its rich cultural contributions to the world[1].
Financial Overview
As of the financial year ending September 2023, the Foundation reported a total income of £265,988 and a total expenditure of £332,819. Among its income sources, it received £25,000 from government grants[2]. The charity supports its operations with the help of 25 volunteers and relies on donations for its ongoing work[2][3].
Governance
The Foundation is governed by 11 trustees, with no trustee receiving any remuneration or benefits from the charity. It operates without trading subsidiaries[2]. For fundraising efforts, donors can contribute via PayPal or through the American Friends of the Jewish Heritage Foundation if residing in the United States[3].
The Foundation's efforts are crucial in addressing the challenges faced by Jewish heritage sites worldwide, ensuring these cultural treasures are preserved and given new life in a sustainable and meaningful way.

The cemetery is now an important heritage destination open to the public with a varied programme of events. Here is the story - (fb)
