THE ABRAHAM INITIATIVES

The charity supports the work of the Abraham Fund Initiatives in Israel. We view coexistance as the ability of people of different backgrounds and beliefs to live side-by-side in mutual respect.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why are there 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
