CARTOON ART TRUST LIMITED

The Cartoon Art Trust is dedicated to preserving the best of British cartoons, caricatures, comics and animation, and to establish a museum with gallery, archives and innovative exhibitions to make the creativity of cartoon art, past and present, accessible to all for the purposes of education, research and enjoyment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
