CAMBRIDGE EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT TRUST 

providing scholarships, bursaries and grants to students from the developing world who have come to study at colleges and departments at the University of Cambridge, and the developing collaborative initiatives between such universities and similar institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth (in particular but not limited to Malaysia) and beyond, for the advancement of knowledge.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
