THE 2 MINUTE FOUNDATION

To promote conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment. To advance the education of the public by providing all information, advice and raising awareness on issues surrounding waste generation, waste management and waste recycling (and the positive effect these acts have on their own wellbeing) primarily across the U.K and Ireland with global aspirations.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
