THE MICHAEL JACOBS FOUNDATION FOR TRAVEL WRITING

The Foundation promotes the art of travel writing, particularly that concerning Hispanic and Latin American culture, notably through the awarding of grants and also by participation in relevant conferences and seminars. The main instrument is the award of the annual Michael Jacobs Grant for Travel Writing and a travel writing workshop for budding travel writers is being envisaged for 2019.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
