ELIZABETH MONTAGU CORRESPONDENCE ONLINE

The charity advances education for the public benefit by publishing an online edition of the letters of Elizabeth Montagu, her correspondents and other members of her circle, as a means to advance scholarship and literary and historical research by making the online correspondence archive freely available for use as an educational tool.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female
The Board composition appears to be rather 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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
