THE INFLEXION FOUNDATION 

The Inflexion Foundation supports a range of charitable causes, especially organisations that have a substantial impact on positive outcomes and opportunities for disadvantaged young people. The Foundation's philanthropic philosophy is that real societal benefit can be achieved by improving the prospects of young people, who can then make their own positive contribution in their communities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
