    THE HUGH FRASER FOUNDATION

    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised

    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
