THE INSTITUTION OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS

Learned society and qualifying body for structural engineers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
