What the accounts disclose
“As outlined in our Investment Policy Document, the main risk facing the foundation is lack of income and financial sustainability. If the investment funds fail to generate interest income in line with our Business Plan (7–8% pa), the charity will be impeded with respect to its ability to provide grants in line with our expectations.” — page 9
