Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Established: 57 years
