THE MARK SELIGMAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION 

To make donations to charitable institutions and to apply income and capital for charitable purposes, at the discretion of the trustees.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
