SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL CHARITABLE TRUST 

We help tribal peoples defend their lives, protect their lands and determine their own futures.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,962,703 available, equivalent to 40 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
Established: 50 years
