Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 29 years
