THE GEORGE W WALSH SEEING EYE DOG FOUNDATION LIMITED

Providing guide dogs for our class of beneficiaries and training and educating our class of beneficiaries in the use of such guide dogs.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly 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
