CHARITY IT ASSOCIATION

The Charity IT Association is a registered charity (1168721) and we have a passion for helping charities get the most from their IT. We currently offer three services to charities to empower them through the use of IT.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities

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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
