THE CATHERINE LEWIS FOUNDATION 

GRANTS ARE ONLY MADE TO UK ORGANISATIONS WHO HAVE CHARITABLE STATUS WITH A REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER IN THE FIELDS MENTIONED IN A13.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
