RAISING HOPE FOUNDATION

Supporting a local NGO in the Volta Region of Ghana with grants for the building of a new orphanage home with farmland, and grants to older students to continue their further education.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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
  • Returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
