Red Flags
- 2 trustees of this charity also sit on multiple other charity boards — concentrated trustee bandwidth may warrant board-skill-mix review.
- Holding 20.8 months of expenses in reserves ($13.4M) — above the 18-month threshold (within 12 months of threshold). On its own, holding high reserves cannot take a CharityData grade below C, so this grade was held at that level
