Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
