FRIENDS OF ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN GEORGIA (FARIG) 

Encouraging research in Georgia into the unique cultural and historical heritage of that country with a view to bringing it to the attention of a wider audience.
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
