BRUGES-NATOLIN UK EUROPEAN SCHOLARSHIPS FUND

Publicising the availability of the scholarships and raising the money to finance them from willing donors.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
