THE WINDMILLS FOUNDATION

The Windmills Foundation focuses on developing the quality and the quantity of 'giving' in people's lives while blending this with the other elements of working, learning and playing. The Foundation creates a process for individuals to fulfil their potential to give more effectively as local and global citizens.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
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
