    TRINITY COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE

    Provision, along with the University, of education of the highest standard for some 1100 undergraduate and graduate students; maintaining a Chapel, extensive Library, and substantial buildings; promoting research by its Fellows and students; and making grants to others with similar objects.

    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
    • This charity has an endowment fund which generates much of its income. Its latest spending amounts to 3.7% of total funds
    • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
    • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
    • Why are there 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
    • Over half the Board have joined recently
