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.
- Government-funding concentration99% of latest-year revenue came from government grants — single-stream dependency
- Government-funding concentration across agencies99% of revenue from 3 different government funder areas — a broad public-funding base, but a coordinated change at the top sources would be material
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.
