THE ZURBARAN TRUST

The charity was formed to acquire from the Church Commissioners a collection of paintings by the Spanish artist Zurbaran, and in conjunction with her sister charity, The Auckland Castle Trust (Charity Reg:1146219), to enable these paintings to be seen by the general public.It also owns other paintings, furniture and artefacts that form part of the permanent exhibition at Auckland Castle

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
