Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
