NFTS FOUNDATION

To help raise and manage funds to support the National Film and Television School (NFTS)

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
There are only 4 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
