REASSURANCE FROM GLOBAL POVERTY-FIGHTER

This development colossus is the British arm of the US-founded CARE, one of the biggest international NGOs. It tackles the full range of poverty, social-injustice and relief issues and in the year covered by its latest annual report, it spent almost half of its fund on crisis relief, particularly on the Boxing Day Tsunami. Its work benefits 55 million people each year in 70 countries. A reassuring annual report gives plenty of detail about how donors' money is spent, and it is clear on aims and achievements. Its scant future plans are the only letdown.

QUALITY OF REPORTING What is this?	80%
How much info does the charity want to share? This score, taken from our search for 43 key points in the annual report, gives the answer. Top mark is 100%. Anything over 70% is a good effort.
SIZE OF CHARITY... What is this?	Large
We only profile the largest charities in England & Wales, and our sizes are relative to the largest and smallest among them. So where we describe a charity as 'Small', it is still much larger than the national average.
HIGHEST SALARY What is this?	£80k to £99k
Taken from the vague bandings given in annual reports; note that 'Under £60k' could be £9k or £59k. Nonetheless the number of bars should roughly correlate with the 'Size of charity' bars.
RESERVES WOULD LAST... What is this?	1 month
If income dried up, how long could work continue? 3-12 months is normal. Less may be precarious. 12+ months may be over-cautious (or if very high, may represent the value of the charity's property).
ETHICAL INVESTMENT POLICY What is this?	Unknown
We asked the charity if it has an ethical investment policy. If yes, it gets an angel. Those with no policy but which don't invest in tobacco/arms get a halo. Those without investments, or who didn't respond, appear neutral. Those with stakes in arms/tobacco get a fallen angel.

But don't take our word for it...
