GIRLS NOT BRIDES: THE GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP TO END CHILD MARRIAGE

Girls Not Brides is a global partnership of over 1000 civil society organisations from over 95 countries committed to ending child marriage and enabling girls to fulfil their potential. Girls Not Brides members bring child marriage to global attention, build an understanding of what it will take to end child marriage and call for policies and programmes that make a difference in the lives of girls

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
This charity has a robust balance sheet
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £9,090,034 available, equivalent to 27 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
