“The Foundation will ensure that it holds sufficient reserves to cover the costs of running the Foundation. The net assets of the Foundation’s are regarded as free reserves and the funds will be retained to make grants and donations in accordance with the Foundation charitable objectives. The Trustees consider that the freely expendable funds are appropriate and sufficient taking account of plans for grants and donations under consideration and in the future. Our reserves policy was reviewed during 2025. Trustees gave further detailed consideration to the matter of reserves and developed, then adopted a Distribution and Reserves policy (February 2025). This includes provisions that Trustees hold unrestricted reserves derived from income or donations that can be spent at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of any of the Foundation’s Pillars of Giving.” — page 16
