GIFT OF LIFE

The Gift of Life Foundation gives support to children and young adults up to the age of 25 whose families cannot afford to pay for their cancer treatments including the purchase of critical anti-tumour medications, which are not available in Russia. Our beneficiaries are Russian citizens, residents in Russia or the CIS, and receive oncological and haematological treatments in Russian clinics.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 4 trustees

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 recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
