THE BROAD CAIRN FOUNDATION 

Grant making is concentrated almost exclusively on smaller charities where contributions can make a real difference and currently focuses on: Disadvantaged children and young people; Third World infrastructure and development; Conservation, sustainable development and heritage. In general, unsolicited appeals are not funded and it is not always possible to send a response to applications.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 recently
