THE MEREPHDI FOUNDATION

Raising funds for hospitals in Israel and transferring them to the beneficiaries
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
