THE RODOLFUS FOUNDATION LIMITED

The aim of the charity is to promote musical education through (i) the organisation and promotion of choral courses for children and young people aged from 8 to 21 years; and (ii) the activities of a choir for talented young singers selected from those who have participated in such courses.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
