THE SHARE FOUNDATION

The Share Foundation aims to reduce the generational cycle of deprivation by building resources and life skills for looked after children and young people. We operate the UK-wide Junior ISA and Child Trust Fund schemes on behalf of the Department for Education, opening and administering accounts, raising additional voluntary contributions to build account values and providing financial education.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
