THE VISITORS' ART FOUNDATION 

The charity activities involves raise fund for grants made to museums, galleries and libraries in the London area to enable them to acquire or commission work from British artists, craftspeople, scientists and writers. Funds will also be granted to museums, galleries and libraries to enable the curation of exhibitions of contemporary work to be shown alongside traditional collections.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • 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
