THE MATTHEW 25 35 TRUST

Making grants to charities and individuals who meet the Trust's objectives and impress the Trustees with the relevance of their project proposals, the effectiveness of their operations and the sustainability of their activities. Given the Trust's aim to advance religion by the promotion of the Christian faith, the Christian message should be integral to the activity.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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