MIDDLE EAST MEDIA

Support for media production and education

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
