THE PAKHAR FOUNDATION 

The trustees hold the trust fund and its income on trust to apply them in India and elsewhere at the trustees discretion for such charitable purposes as the trustees in their discretion think fit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
