PROTON FOUNDATION

The aim of the Foundation is equipping, encouraging, resourcing and inspiring people to achieve their full potential and preferred outcomes as individuals, families, community groups in the UK and parts of the world.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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