CAN's mission is to present to the public innovative and contemporary performing arts exploring Chinese themes, stories, art forms and work that blends Chinese and other contemporary art forms.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
