SOUTH ASIAN DIASPORA LITERATURES AND ARTS ARCHIVE (SALIDAA)

SADAA is a South Asian Arts and Literature archive set up in 1999 by academics and arts practitioners who were concerned that the innovative and exciting contributions made by South Asians to the literary and artistic heritage of this country were in danger of being lost. Our purpose as a repository is to preserve and interpret this heritage and make it more accessible to future generations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
