CSIS CHARITY FUND
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted funds decreased from £926,922 to £875,124 due to a net expenditure of £51,798, driven by grants exceeding incoming resources. The trustees note that the charity is dependent on annual donations from the Civil Service Insurance Society and that current levels of disinvestment from reserves cannot be sustained for more than a few years without scaling back grant-making.
