Grants, often for £50,000 or more, are available to UK registered charities working in the UK and/or overseas.
Previously called the Lewis Family Charitable Trust, the David and Ruth Lewis Charitable Trust is a family-based grant-making charity based in London. The objectives of the Trust are very wide and cover virtually every generally accepted charitable object. However, in practice the causes to which the Trustees have devoted the bulk of resources in recent years have been restricted to medical research and support for the less fortunate, particularly:
- Child and Social Care.
- Education, and
- Support for the Elderly.
Most grants awarded are single payments, although a few grant commitments cover a period of two to three years. Certain medical research grants normally run for a period of three years.
Please note that the Trust does not have a website. Further information is, however, is available on the Charity Commission website.
Applications may be made at any time in writing. The Trustees meet regularly to consider requests for grant support.
