Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
