THE FOUNDATIONS TRUST 

The Foundations Trust provides support and oversight for a range of connected projects based from the twelfth-century Round Church in the centre of Cambridge, exploring the relationship between Christianity and culture. These include Christian Heritage which runs the Round Church Visitor Centre and the Cambridge Christian Study Centre through which the charity also supports university ministry.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be 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
