BANGALORE CHILDREN'S FUND

We aim to create opportunities for significant and sustainable growth and development of individuals and communities meeting their physical, spiritual and emotional needs primarily through the provision of homes and educational advancement.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
