THE MAURICE AND NORMA COHEN CHARITABLE TRUST

The giving of donations to other selected charities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there only 2 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
