SOCIETY FOR ITALIAN STUDIES 

The Society seeks to advance public education by furthering the study of Italy and Italian language and culture through its publications (the journal Italian Studies), conferences (a biennial residential conference, a smaller, themed event in alternate years, an annual postgraduate colloquium), research fund, student bursaries, and financial support for events organized by members of the Society.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

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 recently
