THE MORRISONS FOUNDATION 

The Morrisons Foundation was set up to provide financial support for registered charities. It awards grants for charity projects which improve people's lives and match funds the money that Morrisons colleagues raise for charity.
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:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 9 years
