Results and impact evidence

We have not added a source-checked programme outcome for this charity. That is a gap in this profile, not evidence that the charity has no impact. Its annual report may contain results that have not been assessed here.

Reported grants to institutions: £0 (2024-12-31). This is spending reported in the annual return, not a measure of beneficiary outcomes or an open grant opportunity. It may already be included in charitable expenditure. Check the source accounts.

What these results can tell you

Counts of services delivered describe activity. They do not by themselves establish lasting change, what would have happened without the programme, or cost-effectiveness. Results with different definitions, populations or years should not be ranked against each other.

How we score charities +

The Clarity Score is a 100-point rating from UK regulator filings (Charity Commission for England and Wales, OSCR and CCNI). Four pillars — Accountability & Transparency (40), Financial Health (30), Financial Efficiency (20), and Community Support (10) — each scored on a continuous scale, not pass/fail cutoffs. A statutory inquiry sets the score to 0 automatically.

Full methodology →

Accountability & Transparency

Scored from filings

40 points — filing history (15), trustee oversight (15, scaling up to a board of three or more), declared policies (10).

Financial Health

Scored from filings

30 points — reserves (15, full marks 3–24 months, tapering on both sides), income stability (10), liabilities to assets (5, scaling down as debt rises).

Financial Efficiency

Scored from filings

20 points — program expense ratio and fundraising cost, each on a graduated scale (not a single cutoff). Kept at 20% of the total: financial-ratio scoring alone is not a reliable effectiveness signal (see "why not just an overhead ratio?" below).

Community Support

Scored from filings

10 points — volunteer-to-staff ratio from Charity Commission workforce data, scaling continuously up to a 2:1 ratio.

Overall score

Sum of all pillar points. Display stars use the same bands as the labels: 90–100 → 5★ Exceptional; 75–89 → 4★ Good; 60–74 → 3★ Needs improvement; 1–59 → 2★ Poor; 0 → not rated.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Institute of Export and International Trade (the)'s rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.

Is Institute of Export and International Trade (the) a good charity? +

Institute of Export and International Trade (the) scores 67 out of 100 (3 stars — Needs improvement) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 96% of its spending goes to charitable activities (3-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 Institute of Export and International Trade (the) a legitimate charity? +

The register data used for this profile lists Institute of Export and International Trade (the) as a registered charity (charity number 266395). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=266395&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 Institute of Export and International Trade (the)'s charity number? +

Institute of Export and International Trade (the)'s charity number is 266395. 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 Institute of Export and International Trade (the)'s charity rating? +

Institute of Export and International Trade (the) scores 67 out of 100 on CharityCompare (3 stars — Needs improvement). 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 Institute of Export and International Trade (the) have reviews and complaints? +

CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for Institute of Export and International Trade (the). Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (one red flag on this profile: sharp income decline). For formal complaints about a charity, contact the Charity Commission, OSCR, CCNI or the Fundraising Regulator as appropriate.

How much of my donation reaches Institute of Export and International Trade (the)? +

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, 96% of Institute of Export and International Trade (the)'s total spending went to charitable activities (3-yr avg across disclosed years).

What are Institute of Export and International Trade (the)'s overheads? +

Across the recent disclosed accounts used for this score, fundraising costs were about 4% of total expenditure and fundraising plus separately reported governance figures amount to about 4% of expenditure (2022–2024, disclosed years); these categories can overlap, so this is not a distinct total of all administration costs at Institute of Export and International Trade (the). Institute of Export and International Trade (the)'s annual return for the year ending 31 December 2024 reports 6 employees paid more than £60,000, including 1 employee paid more than £100,000.

Institute of Export and International Trade (the) reported £7.8m total income in its 2024 accounts, based on UK regulator filings. Five-year trend: declining.

Are Institute of Export and International Trade (the)'s accounts up to date? +

Filing status: up to date (last filing 2025-07-22). CharityCompare flags late or missing accounts separately from the financial score.

Where is Institute of Export and International Trade (the) based? +

Institute of Export and International Trade (the)'s annual return for the year ending 31 December 2024 reports 6 employees paid more than £60,000, including 1 employee paid more than £100,000. The highest reported pay band is £100,001–£110,000 (1 employee).

An open statutory inquiry scores 0. The score measures reporting on paper, not programme impact. CharityCompare is free for donors, takes no commission on donations, and scores cannot be bought.
