Common questions about Girls Are Investors's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Girls Are Investors a good charity? +
Girls Are Investors scores 98 out of 100 (5 stars — Exceptional) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 86% of its spending goes to charitable activities (2-yr avg) and its accounts are up to date. That reflects how transparent and financially healthy it looks on paper — it does not measure the real-world impact of its work, so treat it as one factor alongside the cause you care about. CharityCompare never tells you where to donate.
Is Girls Are Investors a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists Girls Are Investors as a registered charity (charity number 1182317). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1182317&subId=0. Check the current entry and the identity of anyone requesting money. Registration does not verify a particular appeal; Clarity Score summarises filing transparency, not programme impact.
What is Girls Are Investors's charity number? +
Girls Are Investors's charity number is 1182317. Check that number on the official register (Charity Commission, OSCR or CCNI) or this CharityCompare profile before you donate — scammers sometimes reuse real numbers on fake appeals.
What is Girls Are Investors's charity rating? +

The Clarity Score (method v1.1) sums four pillars from UK regulator filings: Accountability & Transparency (40 pts), Financial Health (30), Financial Efficiency (20), and Community Support (10). Stars use the same bands as those labels — 90+ is 5★ Exceptional. It is not an impact ranking.
Does Girls Are Investors have reviews and complaints? +
CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Girls Are Investors. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (none flagged on this profile). For formal complaints about a charity, contact the Charity Commission, OSCR, CCNI or the Fundraising Regulator as appropriate.
How much of my donation reaches Girls Are Investors? +
Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 86% of Girls Are Investors's total spending went to charitable activities (2-yr avg across disclosed years).

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, fundraising costs were about 9% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 11% of expenditure (2023–2025, disclosed years); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at Girls Are Investors.
