THE DACAPO MUSIC FOUNDATION LIMITED

The Charity's objective is to advance music education and appreciation for children and adults in the United Kingdom, using the DaCapo approach. We provide family music centres, enable in-schools music activities led by classroom teachers using DaCapo methods and also a comprehensive teacher-training programme.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
