SUPPORTING BUDDING PHILANTHROPISTS BY EDUCATING AND SUPPORTING THEM WITH SERVICES TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE THEIR PHILANTHROPIC OBJECTIVES
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
