Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:
