THE PRINCE GEORGE GALITZINE MEMORIAL FUND FOR ST PETERSBURG

We make grants to small projects in NW Russia that help young people with disabilities. In 1994, we created a specialist library and cultural centre at 46 Fontanka Embankment, in St Petersburg, Russia,'The Prince George Galitzine Memorial Library', the aim of which was to preserve Russian history of the 20th Century through books about Russia printed abroad, we no longer support the library.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
