THE FRANCISCAN MISSIONARIES OF ST. JOSEPH 

We are a Roman Catholic charity working in a number of countries and witnessing to Gospel values through our charitable works primarily among the poor, vulnerable and marginalised. We care for anyone in need believing that all people are equal and that we are called to express our love of God through our service to those in need.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £5,215,159 available, equivalent to 42 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
