Wolfson College OxfordFY2023amount not statedRiver meadow conservation project (Note: Note 9 lists 0 for 2023, but text mentions continued funding. However, strictly following Note 9 table which details 'Grant making' amounts, the value is 0. The text says 'continued to fund', but no specific 2023 amount is listed in the grant table, only in 2022. Wait, Note 9 shows 0 for Wolfson College Oxford in 2023. The text says 'continued to fund this long term work'. It is possible the payment was made in a different period or the table is incomplete. However, the rule is to extract from accounts. Note 9 is the specific grant note. It lists 0. I will extract 0 or omit if strictly following paid amounts. The prompt asks for grants PAID OUT. Note 9 lists 'Total grants' as 429,608. The sum of the listed items is 21536*3 + 250000 + 35000*3 + 5000 + 5000 = 64608 + 250000 + 105000 + 10000 = 429608. This matches the total. Therefore, Wolfson College Oxford received 0 in 2023 according to the financial statements, despite the narrative. I will not include it with a non-zero amount. I will include the ones with explicit amounts.)
