MEDICAL AID FOR PALESTINIANS 

MAP works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 29 years
