INTERNATIONAL ALERT

International Alert works with people directly affected by conflict to build lasting peace. We focus on solving the root causes of conflict with people from across divides. From the grassroots to the policy level, we bring people together to build peace. Experienced and respected, we have a proud track record of achieving change in fragile and conflict-affected countries and territories.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
