THE DORFMAN FOUNDATION 

The trustees hold the Trust Capital and income generated from it to pay or apply towards or for the benefit of such charitable purposes or charitable institutions as the trustees , at their absolute discretion determine.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
