ISHA FOUNDATION

Isha Foundation, founded by Sadhguru, is a non-religious, non-profit, public service organization, dedicated to raising human consciousness

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
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:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £6,334,641 available, equivalent to 35 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
