THE SOCIETY FOUNDATION 

We offer grants to programmes or organisations that are seeking to help people from the following groups move towards paid employment: the recently homeless or vulnerably housed, ex-offenders, and 16-24 year olds not in employment, education or training. We typically offer micro-grants of up to £1,500.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
