Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,965,922 available, equivalent to 53 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
