SAVANNAH WISDOM

Savannah Wisdom supports individuals and organisations in three areas primarily; peacebuilding, issues regarding global inequality and social injustice. Grants are given to projects that are innovative and radical in their approach and challenge current thinking.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
