THE SAINSBURY INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF JAPANESE ARTS AND CULTURE 

During the year ended 31 July 2018 there were no changes in the general policies of the Trustees. The Trust remains a grant making trust making grants in accordance with the objects. The Trustees do not make grants in response to unsolicited applications or to individuals.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

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