THE CHRONIC GRANULOMATOUS DISORDER SOCIETY 

FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE CGD RESEARCH TRUST, THE CHRONIC GRANULOMATOUS DISORDER SOCIETY IS SOLELY CONCERNED WITH THE WELLBEING OF THOSE AFFECTED BY CHRONIC GRANULOMATOUS DISORDER. OUR MISSION IS TO BE THE LEADING GLOBAL SOURCE OF SUPPORT AND INFORMATION ON THIS RARE GENETIC DISORDER AND THEREBY CREATE A CHARITY THAT IS RESPECTED BY AFFECTED FAMILIES AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

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
