THE STEPHEN DODGSON CHARITABLE TRUST 

The trust's purpose is to advance the understanding and education of the public in respect of music and composers, with particular reference to the music of Stephen Dodgson. Its website at www.stephendodgson.com gives access to very many of Stephen Dodgson?s scores and announces events at which his music is to be played. It also commissions recordings and public performances of Stephen?s music.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Income has been volatile recently
