Overview
Achisomoch Aid Company Limited, founded in 1979 by Yitzchok Katz, operates the UK's largest donor-advised fund serving the Jewish community. The organisation's primary function is to help individuals and companies make tax-efficient charitable donations. Account holders have directed substantial sums to Jewish schools, yeshivot, and educational institutions through the platform, with facilitated giving exceeding £50 million in recent years.
However, AAC also functions as a grant maker from its own operational profits. Since its inception, AAC has maintained a policy of donating 100% of its operational surpluses to UK-based Jewish educational institutions. These distributions, typically totalling approximately £850,000-£900,000, are made twice a year at Pesach and Rosh Hashanah to Jewish schools in London and Gateshead Yeshivah.
