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.

  • No chair recorded on the register
    No chair or presiding role is recorded in the register for this board of 6. The Charities Register does not require one to be identified, so this is a gap in the public record rather than a finding about the board.
  • Government-funding concentration
    523% of latest-year revenue came from government grants — single-stream dependency

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.

This rating may reflect incomplete data

This charity's grade of F is based on limited data from the NZ Charities Register, which does not provide detailed expense breakdowns. Without verified program vs admin spending, efficiency scoring is unavailable and the financial score relies on health metrics only. This charity's actual performance may differ from what the available data suggests.
