THE COLLINGWOOD FOUNDATION

The Foundation brings together staff, students, parents, members of the community and grant providers with the joint vision of enhancing the education and life experiences of the students from Collingwood School & Media Arts College. It also provides opportunities for family learning and activities for students from the wider community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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