ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS 

The objectives of the RIBA, as set out in its Charter, are the Advancement of Architecture and the promotion of the acquiring of knowledge of the Arts and Sciences connected therewith. Its mission is to advance architecture by demonstrating public benefit and promoting excellence in the profession.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £396,472,000 available, equivalent to 153 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
