The Charles Lewis Foundation particularly favours registered smaller charities (annual income of under £1,000,000 and no sizeable assets) located in the UK where funding is required for a specific project and where small grants can have a big impact. TCLF especially supports charities which make good use of volunteers. The trustees look to support ongoing and new projects.
