THE GLOBAL FUND FOR FORGOTTEN PEOPLE, ORDER OF MALTA

The Fund makes grants to projects which reach out directly to people who would otherwise be forgotten, and raises awareness of and support for issues that have fallen under the radar of public concern. In addition the Fund delivers non-financial, capacity-building support to its partner charities and grantees.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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