COLCHESTER MUSEUMS DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION

Colchester Museums Development Foundation supports Colchester Museums to inspire and enrich the local community, through the preservation, exploration, and sharing of the town's heritage. The Foundation raises funds through donations, memberships and grants to support access, inclusion, community collaboration, and engagement with collections across Colchester Museums.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
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
