CHABAD LUBAVITCH OF CAMBRIDGE 

CHABAD LUBAVITCH OF CAMBRIDGE PROMOTES AND FACILITATES THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND THE PRACTICE OF THE JEWISH FAITH IN CAMBRIDGE.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 9 years
