JESUS COLLEGE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE 

The College is a place of education, religion, learning and research
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 20 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £136,659,032 available, equivalent to 70 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • There is a pension deficit of £413,458
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
