THE BALANCE ECO FOUNDATION

Chant will sell music in order to fund pro-social activity such as tree planting, Climate change communication, Sustainable building opportunities, animal welfare, water, and ocean protection.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static
  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
