GREENWICH BLUE COAT FOUNDATION

Grants to individuals for educational purposes
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
