THE SIR SIGMUND STERNBERG CHARITABLE FOUNDATION 

To apply the trust fund and income thereof for general charitable purposes, in particular, by the making of grants to charitable institutions and the furtherance of interfaith activities to promote racial and religious harmony between the three abrahamic faiths (Christian, Jewish and Muslim), and the education in, and understanding of, their fundamental tenets and beliefs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

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