THE COLLYER ENDOWMENT

The principal object of the Charity is the promotion of education, with preference to the College, through awarding scholarships, exhibitions or bursaries to individuals and in other ways for which provision is not made out of public funds, for example, the provision of educational buildings.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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