THE DAIWA ANGLO-JAPANESE FOUNDATION 

- Awarding scholarships, grants and prizes to individuals and institutions in the UK and Japan- Hosting a programme of educational and cultural events at Daiwa Foundation Japan House and elsewhere
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

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