SUMATRAN ORANGUTAN SOCIETY

SOS works to protect orangutans, their forests and their future. We fund partners and projects that support the long-term conservation of Sumatran orangutans and their habitat, scale up the reach and impact of conservation programmes, and advocate for Sumatran orangutans and their rainforest home.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
