RHODES UNIVERSITY TRUST (UK) 

The Trust was established to support the educational activities of Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
