IMPACT FOUNDATION

IMPACT's aim is simple, that no one should become or remain needlessly disabled by disease, lack of knowledge or shortage of medical facilities. IMPACT works in the UK and in some of the poorest countries of Africa and Asia. IMPACT is cost-conscious and cost-effective.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
