THE MARJORIE & ARNOLD ZIFF CHARITABLE FOUNDATION 

To see a need and within its limited resources attempt to fill it. It is important that any gift made will provide value for the money donated and that it will benefit the widest number of people. Due to the scope of its activities, the charity can only be involved in a few projects, in which,usually, the Trustees are directly involved.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 3 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
