THE FRIENDS OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY'S ANGLICAN COMMUNION FUND 

Fundraising to enable grants to be made to the churches and provinces of the Anglican Communion and for the international ministry of the Archbishop of Canterbury
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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 has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
