YOUTH VISION

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 15 years
