Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board composition very static and has little diversity in terms of age?

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,924,292 available, equivalent to 37 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
