Financial data as at March 2026. Sourced from Charities Services register.
Our scorecard uses a different template for different kinds of charity — an operating charity is measured differently from an endowment or a grant-making trust. This charity's type has not yet been classified, so a letter grade is withheld rather than assigned using a template chosen by default. That says nothing about the charity itself. Its filed figures are shown above, and it will be graded once its type is classified.
How ratings work →Reasons to look carefully (1)
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.
- Reserves high for operating sizeReserves cover ~950 months of expenses on $119K 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.
