THE MICHAEL SIEFF FOUNDATION 

The Foundation's aims and objectives are to improve policy and practice for children and young people in need by bringing together people with wide ranging responsibilities for vulnerable young people through conferences and special projects.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 20 years
