COUNTY OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

The Foundation's objectives, as defined in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, are the promotion of any exclusively charitable purpose in the United Kingdom and elsewhere which is in the opinion of the Council beneficial to the community but with a preference for the community in Gloucestershire.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
