FUEL MACEDONIA 

We seek to relieve poverty & financial hardship through grants to local partners in N Macedonia providing food, clothing & winter heating fuel; and to prevent poverty by grants to local education establishments with curriculums appropriate to employment.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
