The Catherine Lewis Foundation (formerly known as the David Lewis Charitable Foundation (The)), was created in 1972.


The foundation gave £6,500 to Civitas in 2006/7 and £25,000 in 2007/8.[1] It also funds the Israel-Diaspora Trust an organisation founded by the late Rabbi Sidney Brichto, a passionate supporter of Israel and scourge of its critics inside and outside the UK Jewish community.[2] The trust also donated £25,000 to the Traditional Alternatives Foundation in 2008/9.[3]
