Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,824,426 available, equivalent to 43 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
