Overview

Mission

Named Trusts N.E.C.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 85% of the foundation's positive operating resources came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The foundation combined direct charitable work with grants to other organizations or people.
  • Includes asset-sale income: Asset-sale income is shown separately from recurring resources when classifying the revenue model.

The verdict

AVOID - The strongest available result is that the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify all grant recipients and a relatively small share of spending goes to grants.
