DONALD WOODS FOUNDATION 

FIGHTING POVERTY THROUGH HEALTH, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY-BUILDING IN UNDERDEVELOPED COMMUNITIES IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 40 years
