Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £9,132,831 available, equivalent to 39 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
