THE CLIVE RICHARDS FOUNDATION

Grants are made to organisations particularly schools, churches and those which support the arts and those who request assistance (particularly those who suffer from disabilities). The Trustee Board meet regularly throughout the year to consider applications for funding including social or programme related applications.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but spending has been increasing rapidly
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
