THE PHILANTHROPY FOUNDATION 

The Philanthropy Foundation manages charitable funds on behalf of third parties, both individual and corporate, to help them develop better programmes of philanthropic giving.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
