KIRWIN DAVIES FOUNDATION 

The charity intends to support a limited number of students in financial need with living expenses during tertiary education. Applicants will be identified in conjunction with their secondary schools and will be expected to explain in writing why the need help and how the course they plan to undertake will change their lives. No direct application will be considered.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
