Financial data as at March 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.

NR
Not rated — Volunteer / community organisation

Small volunteer-led organisations are not letter-graded: the standard financial template does not fit entities without paid staff, large revenue, or significant government funding. The charity's filed figures are shown above.

Reasons to look carefully (2)

These structural observations are drawn from public data and are worth considering before a donation. They are not allegations of wrongdoing, and they don’t affect the charity’s letter grade.

  • Small board structure
    2 current officers listed on the register — best-practice boards have 5+ members with separation of duties
  • Reserves high for operating size
    Reserves cover ~216 months of expenses on $125K revenue — very high for an operating charity this size

Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
