Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
