THE PROGRESS FOUNDATION 

We help charities reconnecting young people to society, through education, job-finding help or other activities, primarily in London. Our maximum grant is 25,000 per annum, for up to 3 years. We do not replace statutory funding or make grants to organisations promoting a particular religious belief unless the work is not for religious purposes and clearly fits our funding guidelines.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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