Size (by income) of award holders
The data held by Corra Foundation did not provide income information on all historic applicants/awardees, but analysis using data held by OSCR provided some profiling information of awardees.
We have attempted to identify the size of successful applicants (based on income at point of application). However, it is important to note the limitations in this, as it is based on income levels declared in annual accounts. Also:
- data was not available for every applicant on the OSCR website for the year of application
- we collected income data for the charity in the year of application, but eligibility is based on income levels in previous two years of operation.
- due to different accounting dates, the income from Scottish Government grants sometimes appears in accounts in the year of application, and in others appears in the following accounting period.
However, the data provides an indication of the scale of the organisations that made successful applications at the point of their first application to the Programme.
| Annual income of applicants in year of application | Number of awardees |
|---|---|
| Less than £25,000 | 16 |
| Between £25,000 and £50,000 | 8 |
| Between £50,000 and £100,000 | 8 |
| Between £100,000 and £200,000 | 6 |
| Between £200,000 and £250,000 | 1 |
