THE AARONSON FOUNDATION 

The main way in which the charity pursues its charitable objectives is through the provision of grants to charitable and medical institutions and making medical research equipment available to medical researchers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
