Our role is to promote, enable & develop mutually beneficial partnerships between business & the arts. Including promotion of philanthropy amongst businesses & individuals; promotion of partnerships between arts organisations & businesses, provision of training & promotion of best practice & governance. Its ultimate aim is to aid the success of both sectors for the good of Wales.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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