THE OVE ARUP FOUNDATION

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,202,118 available, equivalent to 55 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
