MEHR CULTURAL FOUNDATION

To provide assistance and support for children and young adults from impoverished households and families in connection with their education, health and well being through financial or material supportal grants
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
