THE SOCIETY OF DILETTANTI CHARITABLE TRUST FUND 

The charity helps museums, libraries and the National Trust to acquire archives and works of art and makes grants towards the conservation of historic buildings, in both cases where there is a connection with the Society of Dilettanti. The charity's Normanby Fund makes an annual travel award for visiting classical sites and museums in Greece, Italy or the Eastern Mediterranean.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
