BOARD OF DEPUTIES CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

Relating to any part of world:--advancement of the education of the public & the knowledge & understanding of Judaism & Jewish history & culture; the promotion of research into those disciplines; the promotion of good race relations between the Jewish community & the rest of society; the promotion of the efficiency of the police within the community at large & the promotion of good citizenship
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,825,445 available, equivalent to 43 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
