MEDICAL AID FOR PALESTINIANS

MAP works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but this has been generated by an income surplus in the latest year
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
