NORTH EAST STEM FOUNDATION

Providing grants for STEM related education across the North East of England, in particular advancing the education of students of UTC South Durham.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender 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
