THE DIXON FOUNDATION

The Dixon Foundation was formed in 2020. It is a UK-based charity that nurtures positive change for the future of our planet. We offer funding to projects which make a demonstrable difference towards creating a more sustainable world. The Trustees also acquire land for conservation and to create natural capital for the benefit of the world. Further details at www.thedixonfoundation.org.uk
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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