ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 Essex Community Foundation currently has 146 endowed funds, iogether with 40 flowrhrough funds currently under its management. Significant Artlvlties 2023 was thefourth year of our fiv*year strategic plan and wecontinue to make good progress against our objectives. The Board of Trustees reviewed our progress at an annual straiegy day in April and within the year started to plan for our next strategic plan, which will commence in 2024. Our latest Community Listening Project research, which is the third report commissioned. helped us to understand the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on our grant partners. Unsurprisingly key findings included higher costs and lower income levels, the volume and complexity of demand, and volunieer capacity with falling numbers. In response, trustees agreed to offer a 10% or £500 uplift, whichever was the greater. to all existing endowmeni grant partners as the most immediate and practical way to offer support. We have had a full year working from our new office premises in central Chelmsford which we were generously gifted the use of at a peppercorn rent of £1 txa. for 25 years by a local family. The team has settled into our new home, and we held four open house events in the first 6 months of the year. io welcome a range of guesis, including our founding CEO, Laura Warren. We started to promote and increase the use of our ground floor space, Foundation Hub. which our grant partners and charities can use for free.This is another way in which we can extend our support and resources to charities. The Hub now has 60 registered users from 40 different organisations. Since it was launched in November 2022 over 2200 hour5 have been utilised. This equates to almost £40,000 at commercial rates. Our CRM system is an integral operating tool that enables us to manage effectively our grantmaking, finances, communications. and fund management. Our current Sysiem is no longer fit for purpose and trusteesagreed to work with colleagues at Kent Community Foundation to share the costs of developing a new CRM system that will meet both our requirements. This is a significant project that will pul us on a firmer footing for the future and will ensure we can continually develop in line with our operating needs. Head of Operations, Steve Mackenzie is leading on this project and the first phase is due to rolled out later this year. Newly appointed Trustee, Atul ManeL who succeeded Russell Edey as chair of our Audit & Risk Committee. commenced a review of our risk framework. statement, and register. Atul is an experienced Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and is working with all committees and the executive team to lead on ihe review which will conclude in 2023124. Interim results show that our approach is Strong with minor improvements and additions required. We were humbled to learn that a long-time supporter, DrGeoffrey Sneed whodied this year, had chosen to leave his legacy to local communities. under our management. With a passion for engineering and educaiion it will be a privilege to support future generations with an interest in these important subjects. Finally, we developed a new relationship with Essex Life magazine and now publish monthly articles showcasing the benefits of giving io communities through the Foundation.We regularly write articles for several relevant business publications and are active on all social media plarforms. Our annual programme of events commenced with our AGM ai Haifield Place in November where we were joined by 130 guests. In March we hosted the annual High Sheriff Awards at Hylands Park, Chelmsford in partnership with BBC Essex who broadcasted live from the event and two Spring receptions for fundholders and supporters, held in April ai Ingaiestone Hall and in May at Layer Marney Tower. Events focused on fund development continued with a series of networking meetings for professional advisers. to raise awareness of our work further detail on page I￿7 l.

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 Environmental Social •nd Governance1$5ues During the year ESG was embedded in each of the Board'scommittees Irather thèn working groups), with the Chair taking responsibility for ensuring ESG remains a priority and reporting back to the Board. We take ESG to mean recognising the importance of considering environmental, social and governance issueswithin the organisation and across the organisation's work. A key focus for our ESG work continues to be within our Finance & Investment Commiltee, particularly in relation to the Foundation's investment porrfolio where funds are invested on behalf of our fundholders to provide ongoing support io charities and voluntary organisaiions across Essex. Work in this area has included.. Requiring more detailed ESG and responsiblelsustainable investment reporting from our three fund managers and raising queries on these areas in our bi-annual factritrface meetings with them. Ensuring our approach to ESG is noted as a managed risk within our Finance & Investment Committee risk register. Organising workshops for trustees and staff to consider potential investment exclusions ionsidering the range of stskeholders we work with and on behalf of. These lively participatory sessions explored issues including the Foundation's objects, defining our stakeholders, recognising that responsibility for investments lies with all trustees, the spectrum of capital, the legal and regulatory framework for charity investments, investment policy examples and how investment screens work. The outcomes of these sessions will be considered by ihe Board. prior to a potential rewriting of the Foundation's Investment Policy to take greater account of ESG issues. In addition to the work above, on a broader level: We remain a signaiory to the Living Wage and the Funder Commitment on Climate Change. Grantmaking is now coded to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals as part of our management reporting framework. We have a continued focus on managing environmental factors within our office building which was designed with efficient heating and cooling systems and insulation for maximum energy efficiency. GrantmakiThg We have paid out £4,427,366 in new grants this year, just ahead ofthe £4.422,122 paid in 2022. We were able to pay 1,050 grants funding 629 organisations and 131 individuals. Our average grant is similar to prÈYovid values at £5,238, and although a slight decrease, Ihis is generally due to the types of funding programmes that we manage. so will vary from year to year. We continue to attract organisations that had not applied to us before, with these firsi-time applicants receiving 27% of the total amount paid. Grants to individuals increased from £110,494 in 2022 to £198.793.This is due to managing several new funds with a focus oneducational grants and sUPPOrting physical health and people with disabilities. The cost-of-living crisis has continued to impact the voluntary sector and the communities they sUPPOrt. As a significant funder of small and grassroots organisations, we needed to provide an effective response through a range of measures We promoted core costs funding, we priorilised'cost of living, applications, we provided opportunities to discuss the impact of the crisis with groups and instigaied our ihird community listening projeu ICLPI. At the beginning of February 2023, Trusteesconsidered the analysis from the half-year grantmaking data and the initial insighi from the CLP and agreed that we needed to do more to address the effects of the cost-of-living crisis on organisations and small grassroots groups.

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 As a resuli, we immediately offered a cost-of-living uplift of l 0% or £5(M) Ibased (n their original granL whichever was greaierl to small and grassroots organisations, which cost £134,646 and came from the Acorn Fund. We also provided an additional funding of £65,000 from our Acorn Fund to support organisations wiih an urgent COSt-of-living related issue identified by the CLP. Additional emergency funding was also received from fundholders to address the immediate impact of the crisis, including Douglas Allen Estate Agenis providing £133.950 in emergency funds, East of England Ctrop awarding £23.000 for warm hubs and our surviving winter/cost-of-living appeal raising £21,000. We also continued to increase and improve access for underrepresented groups Wlth our funding to minority ethnic community organisations and those sUPPOrting refugees and asylum seekers increasing again this year to £313,000 from £229.270 last year. This demonstrates our continued commitment to building relationships with marginalised groups including minority ethnic communities, to ensure equal access to our funding. As a result, we were also able to deliver a Mental Health Inequalities programme on beha￿of Mid & South Essex NHSTrustwith a focus on marginalised and historically underrepresented iommunities. Our support for the sustainability of the voluntary and community sector includes a focus on awarding funding for core cost& This year we have paid 295 core grants. which is up by 73.5% from last year. and core grants accounted for the largest percentage of grants paid at 55%. Of this, £1.548,982 came from endowed and donor advised funds, which demonstrates the enthusiasm of our donors to support the important everyday work undertaken by charitable and voluntary organisations across Essex. The Thrive Programme, which provides tailored strategic and organisational development support in partnership with the Cranfield Trust has completed three iohorts. The fourth cohort, which started in March 2023 includes organisations from Southend and Thurrock, and this will complete at the end of 2023. Grant Distributlon Pollcy Each year the Board of Trustees approves a level of grant expenditure from endowed funds which is consistent with the aim of maintaining the nominal value of endowment funds and subject to any conditions imposed by donors. The Finance & Investment Committee recommends to the Board what it considers to be an appropriate level to be distributed in granis. taking into accouni social needs, economic outlool and the Foundation's policy to maintain the endowvment funds nominal value. A distribution raie of5.$% was agreed for the year under review with the option to request additional funds from discretionary funds if need was identified. In January 2023 Trustee5 agreed to provide a cost-of- living response by withdrawing a further circa £200.000 from the Acorn Fund, representing a total distribution within the year of 69& Fund Development The year under review has attracted £5.3 million in total income, including donations. from individuals. companies. charitable trusts, the public sector, and investments, which is slightly less from £5.4 million last year. This comprised £2.7 million in new endowed donations and £2.6 million in flowthrough funds. investment and managemeni income. Our Private Client Professional Adviser Networking events have continued todeveloll with three taking place at Hatfield Place. Layer Marney Tower and Marks Hall Estate. Each event welcomed over 70 attendees and provides the opportunity to regularly engage with local advisors so that they can build their knowledge and undersianding of the Foundation. These events also help us to understand what information and support local advisors need to inform their clients about the multiple benefits of giving through the Foundation. As a result, within the year we commenced planning of a new legacy strategy, which will continue to develop in the coming year. As part of this process, we have developed a legacy publication following requests from local Private Client Solicitor& 10

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 This year we also launched a new iniliative, the Fundbuilder programme. as an alternative option for donors who wish to start their giving through the Foundation. Donors can give regularly to build their own fund over a longer period and can make additional donations from fundraising events or by making ontroff gifts. We have rolled out this new initiative to a small number of donors as part of a pilot phase. with plans to expand in future years. Our core offer remains to engage our donors in long-term, philanthropic giving by working with them to understand theircharitable aims. Donors can establish a fund with a on*off donation, actively fundraise, or make regular contributions to their fund. We can take on the management of existing charitable trusts where the original trustees may not be able io continue to manage the funds as we provide an efficient and effective alternative solution. Fifteen newfundswere established during theyear.. sixflowthrough and nineendowed. six ofwhich were established under our new Fundbuilder programme. The six new flowthrough funds were the Communities in Cri515 Appeal, Community Inclusion Fund, Douglas Allen Emergency Fund Dulverton Trust Fund, LTC Community Fund and Ukrainian Refugee Suppon Project.

We do not use professional fundraising agencies. We have never failed to comply with any fundraising scheme or standard. Any person acting on our behalf for the purpose of fundraising is given strict guidelines to adhere to. To protect vulnerable people and other members of the public and in line with our business model, we never undertake cold calling or uninitiated contact practices. We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and the Fundraising Preference Service. No complaints have been registered againsi the Foundation during the year under review or since our registration in July 2017. Flnan¢lal Revlew Toial income for the year was £5.333,896compared with £5,375,133 in the year to June 2022. Donations to the endowment fund during the year totalled £2,678.724. As of June 2023, endowed funds totalled £46,800,003 compared with £44,919,172 in June 2022. The majority of our expenditure is in grant distribution, and funding for this is taken as an annual drawdown from the endowment funds together with flowthrough funds. Within the 5tatemeni of Financial Aaivities ISOFAI the Foundation recognised grant expenditure of £3,927,378 (see note 61 to charities. individuals. and voluntary and community organisations in the year under review, compared with £4,458.707 in 2022. Our unrestricted loperatingl income mainly comes from a Contribution made by fundholders Iboth endowed and flowthrough fundsl to our charitable activities, as well as membership subscriptions and sponsorship. Operating income as reported in the SOFA was £101.686. Within the year our operating expenditure was £960,639, this being 96.4% of the budgeted figure of £996,825. We received contributions from fundholders as transfers from endowed funds of £676,392 Inoie l 01 and flowthrough funds of £125,543 Inoie 101 which resulted in total operating income of £903.621 for the year.

Similarly, amounts of £31,781 and £14,274 were transferred from designated reserves to offset amortisation £05ts of Property Improvements and our Programme Related Investment resp￿tIvelY. This gave an annual operating deficit of £11.7781 for the year under review compared with budgeted deficit of £1150.8801. Trustees agreed to release funds from the Acorn Fund io meet this deficit and thereby maintain the level of unrestricted reserves.

Contributions towards charitable costs from endowed funds under managemeni covered 70.2% ofthe Foundation's operating expenditure (excluding relocation costs1 compared with 73% as budgeted. Investment Performance The financial year started off on a negative note as rising consumer prices, on a global basis, led to the authorities raising inierest rates, which caused prices of fixed inierest assets to fall. The UK had its own particular problems to deal with in addition to inflation problems, not least the number of Chancellors of the Exchequer over this period. The first of the four over this period was the incumbent, Rishi Sunak, for the firs15 days of July and ihe last was Jeremy Hunt from 14 October. Just prior to Jeremy Hunt taking his role UK terkyear government bond yields shot up to 4.5%, a level lasi seen in January 2008, from 2.3%, causing problems for companies with high leve& of debt. Bond prices steadied but still fell over the 12- month period and recorded a sizeable negative return. Higher inflation. rising interest rates and rising yields initially led io weakness in equities as investors Swltched into higher yielding bonds and cash. As the year progressed and ihe prospect of core inflation peaking. $0 equities started to rally. Equities benefitted from their lower start value. from growth being strongerthan anticipated and from news of advancements in generative artificial intelligence. As much of this news came out of the US, the US market rallied more than most markets and $0 a bias io overseas equities was beneficial to returns. Higher interest rates in the UK a150 led to sterling strengthening againsl the dollar which acted as a slight headwind to the UK equity market. The investment committee gave our fund managers greaterflexibility io invest in overseas equities, by reducing ihe benchmark of UK equilies in January 2023. which aided performance. Overthe 12-monthsio 30 June2023, the yield on ten-year UKgovernment bonds rose from 2.3% to45%. This led io negative returns for fixed interest stocks. with the FT All Stocks Government Bond index producing a negative total return of -14.5%. Over the same period, UK equities las measured by the FFSE All Share Index) produced a return of +7.9% and overseas equities a return of +13.6%. C￿er the year core portfolio produced a net return of +5.21% which was good relative to ihe peer grwp (ARC Steady Growth PC Index) return of +2.9%, bui behind inflation (measured by UK CPI) which rose strongly by +8% over the year. At the manager level. Investec produced a return of +6.0%. CCLA +5.5% and Liontrust, our ethical manager 4.4% (all net of fees). Long-term porrfolio performance remains strong, with a ten-year average return of +5.9% p.a. This is ahead of the peer group (ARC Steady Growth PC Index) return of +4.7% p.a. however, the investment committee note that given the recent very high levels of inflation, portfolio performance is now behind the long-term objective of CPl+4%. That measure is +7.1% p.a. over the same period and looks likely to remain a challenge for investment portfolios going forward. We will be ccmmencing our usual fivtryearly review of investment managers during ihe next financial year. Investment Objertive The development of an expendable endowment fund. providing susiainable and growing sUPPOrt for local communities in the long term. is central to our grani making role. 12

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 We aim to achieve an investment return which will attract new donors and meet endowment fund development objeaives. Funher, the overall financial return of the investments will be consistent with the risk tolerance and commercial prudence agreed by the Board of Trustees. The Investmeni Objective relates to the expendable endowment funds managed by ECF only and not Community First monies. The Investment Objective is to: Maintain the cumulative nominal value of the endowment fund over the medium term The target return on investments Is CPI +4% Reserves Pollcy Fund balances Isee SOFA page 191 at 30 June 2023 comprised.. Unrestricted Igenerall Unrestricted Idesignatedl Restricted Endowed £482,330 £979.730 £643.871 £46WO,003 At 30 June 2023, the balance carried forward on unrestricted reserves was £482,330 (see note 191. Unrestricted designated reserves comprise £42,098 for organisational development intended for our CRM development work, £595.069 for property improvements to leasehold reserve and £342.563 for a Programme Related Investment reserve. The aim of the Board of Trustees is to have at least six monihs of the ne￿ yearfs operational expenditure budget as unrestricted reserves. Currently this would amount to £500,000. The Board of Trustees continue to believethat reserves should be a prudent minimum, and that the funds deployed in grantmaking should be maximised. To the extent that the carried forward unrestricted reserves (excluding dilapidationsl slightly fall short of the target figure, the Trustees take account of theirability to allocate from the endowed Acorn Fund to operational expenditure if there were a severe and unexpected decline in the Foundaiion's financial posltion. The Trustees monitor ihe Sltuation to ensure that the available reserves and Acorn Fund together providea sufficient reserve. The Trustees remain confident that all the Foundation's financial obligations can be met. Principal Rlsks and Uncertainiles A regular review of the Foundation's risk frameworkiommenced in the year and will conclude next year. Our current risk framework sets out our overall appetite for risk and drills down to include an appetite Statemeni for each risk area. We adapted and implemented the National Council for Voluniary Organisations INCVOs1 Risk Register, which includes a high4evel risk dashboard ihat categorises our risks by Redl Amber IGreen and highlights the key risks, changes to risk, and new risks. The Risk Register is a Standard item on all sub<ommittee meeting agendas, reviewed in entirety by the Audit & Risk Committee, and approved by the Board of Trusiees.

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting bychariiies.. Statemeni of Recommended Practice applicable io charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Siatement of Recommended Practice for Charities ISORP 201511Second Edition, effective l January 20191,the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006. The Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notelsl. Preparation of Jccounts on a going concern basis The Trustees consider there are no material uncertainties aboui the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The review of ourfinancial position, reserves levels and future plans gives Trusiees confidence the charity remains a going concem for the foreseeablefuture. Trustees thoroughly ￿vieWed the principal risks and uncertainties pertaining to the current economic climate and the likely impact of the cost-of-living crisis and agreed that our current risk register sufficiently captured all known risks and would be continually reviewed. Grant making cashflows are prepared and, as flowthrough funding is received in advance, trustees are confident that our grant making ability will be unaffected. Trustees continue to monitor our worL investments and needs of our communities. We are confident that we have the capacity and resource to continue our development plans alongside delivery of ourdaY-tc￿aY work The following principal accounting policies have been applied.. Income Donations and legacies are accounted for when receivable by the Foundation. Revenue grant5 are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities ISOFAI when the charity is considered to have entitlement to the assets, it is probable that the resources will be received, and the mon￿ary value of income can be measured with sufficieni reliability. If grants are related to a future donor-imposed period. the income is deferred until that period. Other income is accounted for on an accruals basis as far as it is prudent to do so. Expenditure Liabilities are re(ognised as expenditureas soon as there is a legal or constructiveobligation committing thecharity to the expenditure. Allexpenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes irrecoverable valueadded tax. Grants payableare payments made to third parties in thefurtherance of the charity's objectives. Singleor muliFyear grants are recognised as expenditu￿ when a grant commitment is made without condition. or when the condition will not in practice allowthe charity to avoid the liability. EKpenditure on raising funds Comprisethose costs directly attributableto managing the investment portfolio togetherwith a proportion of other costs attributable to the development of funds and publicity. Expenditure on churitableacrivities Includesthe value of grantsawarded bythe Foundation and both thedirectand managementcosts relating tothese activities. Grants payable are recognised as expenditure and included in the SOFA when approved by the Trustees and accepted by the beneficiarie5. The value of such grants unpaid at the year*nd is accrued. Grants where the beneficiary has to meei certainconditions before the grant Is released are accrued asfinancial commitment& Where a grant is to be paid by instalments. the outstanding balance is disclosed as a liability. Grani costs include the administrative functions and have been allocated to acThvity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 24

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 Costs that can be recognised as being wholly associaied with support activities are directly allocated. All other iosts, including staffing costs, are apportioned on the basis of an estimate of the time spent by each member of staff. Oiher employee benefit5 Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the setvice is received. Termination benefits areaccounted for on an accrual basis and in line with FRS 102. Gifts in kind The Foundaiion receives the benefit of work carried out byvolunteers. No account of this IS taken in the Statement of Financial Activities. The Foundation receives ihe benefit of legal and payroll work given on a pro bono basis. This work is included within Donations and gifts in the Statement of Financial Activities and is valued at the open market value of the seNices provided (see note 241. Operating leases Rentals paid under operating leases are included in the accounts over the period in which the cost is incurred. Future obligations under operating leases are detailed in note 25 of these financial statements. Taxation As a registered charity, the Foundation benefits from Business Rates relief and is generally exempt from Income Tax and Capital Gains TaL but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates. Fin•nciJl In5trumenl$ The Foundation only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instrument Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and Subsequently measured at their settlement value. Inveslmenls Investments are stated in the balance sheet ai their market value. Realised gains and losses a￿ included in the income and expenditure account. Investmeni income is recognised on the basis of the due date for payment. Unrealised gains (see note 121 are included in the Statement of Financial Activitie5. Programme Related investmenls Programme Related investments relate to property work5 undertaken on the portion of the charitls new offices which will be shared with othercharitable organisations.

ESSEX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 Creditors •nd provision5 Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised ai their settlement amount after allowing for any trade diKounts due. Pensions The Foundaiion has a defined contribution pension scheme. The cost of contributions payable by the Foundation to the scheme is charged to the income and expenditure account as incurred. Fund •ccounting Funds held by the Foundation are: Unrestrictedfunds- these are funds that can be used in furtherance of the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trusiees. Restricted fvnds- these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the Foundaiion. Restriuions arise when st*cified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Endowment funds - represent those assets held in the long ierm by the charity, principally investments. In accordance with the donors, wishes the capital is expendable for grant making at the discretion of the Trustees. Income arising on endowmentfunds is included as restricted income, except in ihe case of ihe Acorn Fund, where income can be used to meet the general objectives of the charity and is therefore included within unrestricted income. Any capital gains or losses arising and the investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund. Transfers- between funds are at the discretion of the Trustees. The purpose is to allocate resources to particular projects that are in accordance with the charitable objectives. Critical a<counting judgemenls and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of theaccounting policies, Trustees are required to makejudgements estimates, and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparentfrom oiher sources. The estimates and undedying assumpiions are based on historical ex[￿rIenCe and other factors that are considered io be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions a￿ reviewed on an ongoing basis. In the view of ihe Trustees, the recognition of liabilities for futu￿ grant commiiment is an area of judgemeni significant to the accounts as the timing of these payments is not always predictable, particularly for multkyear grants. Accrued legacies are included only if probate has been granted and there is certainty of value and receipt. The subsequent timing of these receipts however is noi always predictable and beyond our control. No other assumpiions concerning the future or estimation of uncertainty affeciing assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment io their carrying amounts in the next financial year. 26

Two designated reserve funds were established last year.. one for ihe property improvements to leasehold which are being depreciated over the course of the 25-year lease and relocation costs which are being depreciated over 4 or 10 years according to our policy, and the second for the value of the programme related investments which are anticipated will be impaired over their useful life (currently estimated at 25 years) as the charity Is not able to charge for the occupation or subletting of the space. FurKls are released annually from ihe reserves to offset the amortisation costs of these assets. The designated Acorn Fund represents the income from the Acorn endowed fund, which is an expendable endowment fund. The aim of the fund is to build an endowed fund which is primarily used as a source of grantmaking to improve the quality of life of people in Essex.
