Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but spending has been increasing rapidly
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
