INTERNATIONAL GUITAR FOUNDATION & FESTIVALS

Activities include performance at festivals and concerts, workshops and outreach projects as well as new music commissions, CD production and publications.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
