What The Prince of Wales Foundation does
Mission
To support projects involving education, health care, disadvantaged young people, arts and cultural programs, urban and rural renewal, and the environment.
As stated on its FY2018 Form 990.
Program
Dumfries house trust - dumfries house trust is a scottish registered charity organized to accomplish, among other things, the preservation of buildings of historic and/or architectural importance; the preservation of a unique collection of chippendale furniture; the historical and architectural education of the public and to influence economic regeneration for east ayrshire region and beyond.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $4.9M to $2.4M (−51%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
