SHORESH CHARITABLE TRUST (DR RUTH BORCHARD GIFT)

The promotion of normative Judaism through direct help for individual charities which are well established both in Israel and in Europe and the USA for Jews in need and in so doing, to help them develop both their faith and wellbeing.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

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