BUXTON FESTIVAL FOUNDATION

As an endowment fund, the Foundation seeks to attract legacies and donations from individuals, grant making trusts and corporate bodies. It uses the income from the accumulated capital to safeguard the long-term future of the Buxton Arts Festival by the regular provision of grants to support its core funding.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
