Ifa - Yoruba Contemporary Arts Trust is a charitable trust, committed to fostering the development of African arts and culture through a wide range of educational and arts activities and promoting an awareness of the impact of African people on the wider African Diaspora.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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